Clean Cartridge
Cartridges that sit idle in the Bravo for a period of time may
start to experience some drying of ink in the tiny nozzles that
make up the print head. Clicking the Clean Cartridge button
will cause the bravo to pick a disc and place in into the printer
tray. The Bravo will then print a simple pattern that will flush
ink through the nozzles. The test pattern will also show you if
any nozzles are clogged. In the pattern you will see some
diagonal lines which should be continuous; breaks in those
lines indicate a clogged nozzle. Please note that it may require
more than one cleaning to fully clear all nozzles. If the nozzles
are not fully clear after a few cleaning prints, it may be
necessary to remove the cartridge and actually clean the print
head by gently wiping the nozzles with a moist cloth or paper
towel and replace it in the Bravo. If this fails, the cartridge
may be empty and in need of replacement.
Change Cartridge
If you need to change cartridges, it is a good idea to use the
Change Cartridge button in the Configuration Utility. This
ensures the most accurate tracking of ink levels. To change a
cartridge, click the Change Cartridge button. The cartridge
holder will move to the center of the Bravo to make it easier to
install the cartridges. Lift the top cover and install the
cartridges and described in section 2-B of this manual. You
will be prompted to let the system know whether or not you
are installing a new or used color or monochrome cartridge.
Once installed, click the OK button and the system will update
your cartridge levels.
Note: It is recommended that you perform and Alignment Calibration
Print after installing a new cartridge.
