13-8 Maintaining the MultiPASS 1000 Chapter 13
Ink Cartridge Maintenance
One of the most important things you can do to extend the life of
your MultiPASS 1000 and to ensure optimum print quality is take
care of the ink cartridges.
To ensure excellent print quality, follow these guidelines for
maintaining the ink cartridges:
❏ Store ink cartridges at room temperature and protect them
from direct sunlight.
❏ Keep the ink cartridge in its sealed container until you are
ready to use it.
❏ Install the ink cartridge in the MultiPASS 1000 immediately
after opening the sealed container.
❏ Keep the ink cartridge in its home position (left side of the
printer) when you are not using the MultiPASS 1000. Leaving
it out of its home position will cause the print head to dry out.
(Make sure the printer light is off whenever you unplug the
MultiPASS 1000.)
❏ Perform the print head cleaning when your print quality is not
satisfactory. (See page 13-6 for instructions.)
❏ Replace the ink cartridge when the print quality does not
improve after one or two print head cleanings. (Also try
removing and reinstalling the ink cartridge a few times.)
❏ Do not touch the print head area on the ink cartridge. Ink may
leak out and cause stains.
❏ Do not vigorously shake the ink cartridge while handling it.
❏ Do not attempt to disassemble or refill an ink tank.
If spilled, the ink is very difficult to clean. Therefore, always follow
these precautions and carefully handle the ink cartridges.
