Printhead
Procedures
The printer uses air pressure to both fill and evacuate ink and
printhead flush from the printheads. The following functions are
available from the menu at Tools > Maintenance > Printhead
Procedures:
• Load Ink In All Heads — when installing ink for the first
time, or when restarting the printer after an extended power
down period, this function fills the empty printheads with ink.
• Fill Heads with Ink — fills the printheads with ink, one color
at a time. Should only be done with empty printheads.
• Empty Heads (Fill With Air) — empties all printheads by
using air pressure.
As you perform Printhead Procedures from the menu, monitor
the ink level in the drip tray under the carriage. Remove the tray
and drain the ink into a container occasionally to prevent over-
flows. Since this mixture of ink and printhead flush will not cure,
dispose of it according to the instructions in the Material Safety
Data Sheets for the ink and printhead flush.
