MAX INK TEMP. – Advanced Analysis
For printers which exhibit large air gaps or bubbles in the ink delivery lines refer
to A. below. For printers which experience an unusually high level or occurrence
of cartridge ‘Max Ink Temp’ errors refer to B. below.
A.) Bubbles Observed in Ink Delivery Lines
Only small air bubbles (< 1 cm in
diameter) are permitted to be
observed in ink delivery ink lines at or
near the carriage assembly. Refer to
adjacent picture of a typical printer ink
delivery system; any single bubble
longer than 1 cm in length may signify
a problem within the ink delivery
system connectivity. To correct a
possible problem from occurring
perform each of the following actions
and retest printer by sending three
high saturation images to printer in a
row (i.e. internal color test in 3 pass print mode):
1.) Re-prime ink line using cartridge with tube assembly/plug bar. Note: only
install the plug bar for new service station types (yellow label at front corner).
Install ink cartridges and ensure all six (6) ink lines are completely filled with ink
and that no air gaps are observed in ink lines.
2.) Replace ink cartridge with a new cartridge.
Existing cartridge may possibly have an internal
leak or a leak at the jet plate allowing air to
penetrate internal housing.
