Installing Big Ink Packs 3-7
10. Insert the bottom edge of the ink cartridge into position on
the print head carriage, then push the top of the ink cartridge
into position until you feel it snap into place in the holder.
You should feel a slight resistance as the cartridge snaps into
place. DO NOT force the ink cartridge. If it does not snap
easily into place, you may not have aligned it properly into
the print head. Push back on the cartridge to verify that it is
seated firmly.
11. Press the tube into the routing clips along the track.
Start at the cartridge end of the tube and work toward the
Big Ink pack trays. Do not apply tension where the tube
attaches to the ink cartridge, or ink leakage could occur.
Ink Cartridge Handling Tips
◆
Hold the ink cartridge only by the plastic body.
◆
DO NOT
touch the ink jet nozzles on the bottom of the cartridge.
◆
DO NOT
touch the electrodes on the back of the cartridge. The ink
cartridge is fired by an electrical signal. The electrodes that carry
this signal are easily contaminated.
◆
DO NOT
set the ink cartridge down anywhere before you install it.
◆
DO NOT
wipe the ink cartridge with any fiber-cellulose material,
such as a paper tissue.
◆ NEVER APPLY ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL ON THE CARTRIDGE
OR SERVICE STATION. USE PLAIN WATER.
Alcohol reacts
with pigmented inks, rendering the cartridge unusable. For
stubborn clogs, see “Cleaning Ink Jets” on page 3-11.
