6. Initial Ink Induction Procedure

6-1. Initial Cleaning of the Ink Supply Tubes and the Sub Tanks

Feeding the cleaning solution to the sub tanks

  1. From the main menu, select [Ink Status] and then press the ENTER key. The “No Ink” alarm sounds and then stops, and the ink pump operates to feed the cleaning solution to the sub tanks.
    If the “No Ink” alarm sounds once again, from the main menu, select [Ink Status] and then press the ENTER key once more. The alarm will stop sounding when the four sub tanks (C, M, Y, K) are filled with cleaning solution. At this time there will be no operating noise from the ink pump.
  2. Visually check that the sub tanks are sufficiently filled with cleaning solution.
    The tanks should be filled up to approximately the level indicated by the white line.
  3. Turn off the printer power supply.

Removing the print head carriage cover

  1. Open the panel in front of the cleaning position.
  2. Remove the two screws holding the print head carriage cover, and then detach the print head carriage cover.
