MAINTENANCE
AND STORAGE
Installing new cartridges
Be sure the cartridges you are installing contain the same type of ink as the reservoirs. Snap
them into place and attach the quick connect fittings as described in Chapter 2.
! The printer will only operate when all four PRO 600e cartridges are installed.
Installing non PRO 600e cartridges may damage the printer and will prevent it
from operating correctly.
! Don’t attempt to install or remove an ink cartridge from the carriage at any time
without first selecting Utility/Access Cartridges to move the carriage away from
the service station. Don’t attempt to manually pull the carriage out of the service
station while the printer is turned on. This can damage the printer.
! Touching the flex contacts (the copper area that houses the electrical contacts)
and the inkjet plate can damage the cartridge. Similarly, touching the copper
contact area of the carriage can damage the carriage.
Each time you place new ink cartridges in the printer, perform a prime and color calibration to
ensure the highest quality printed images. Priming is covered in Chapter 2 and calibration
procedures are discussed in Appendix A.
Ink cartridges generally last as long as the ink in a full reservoir. When a cartridge misfires or
the quality deteriorates, you will want to replace it.
Purging ink delivery lines
If you are changing to a third ink type, for example, if you previously used GA and GO inks
and you now want to use GS and GO inks, you must purge the ink lines and rinse them with
distilled water very well before changing to a new ink type. You will then have to reprime the
lines as described in Chapter 2.
To purge ink delivery lines
1 Remove all four cartridges before purging the ink lines.
2 Disconnect the ink delivery lines from the ink reservoirs. Carefully wipe any excess
ink from each connector using a paper towel before proceeding.
3 Insert the tube that was in the cartridge into a container of distilled water.
4 Connect the NovaPrime to a connector at the ink reservoir and turn it on until ink
stops flowing into the collection bottle.
5 Repeat the same procedure for the rest of the lines.
