Printing Problems

The printer has not been use for a short time or the ink system cartridges have lost there prime.

 If you only have one or two missing spaces print in the highest or best printing mode and pick glossy photo paper even if you are printing a document, This will help purge the printhead.  

When this does not work try the instructions below.

 

 How to prime the printhead manually.

Step 1

Remove the ink system.

Fill the prime syringe with 1ml of ink then put the tubing over the first needle and hold the tubing while push very slowly on the plunger. The ink will slowly enter the printhead filling that color. Never pull back on the plunger

Do all the colors the same way.

Very Important: If you push to hard the hose may slip off and squirt ink all over you the printer and the room.

 

When priming the cartridges make sure you do not have the plugs in the ink bottles

Step 2

Put a piece of tape over the ink ports on the bottom of the ink system cartridges as shown. This will stop any air from entering the cartridge when you are priming it from the top.

 

 

 

 

Step 3

Remove the plug near the hose on top of the cartridge. This is where you will re-prime the cartridge. See photo

 

Carefully snug the syringe tip into the cartridges priming port

 

Step 4

With the tip of the syringe in the hole pull up on the plunger. Keep doing this until you see 1 mls of ink in the syringe. Before removing the syringe put the air plug back into that color ink bottle. This will stop any ink from running back to the ink bottles. A small amount of air in the ink tube is ok. Then remove the syringe and put the plug back ink. See photo

Do all the colors the same way. This is how you prime the ink system

 

 

Step 5

Install the system back into the printer. Making sure you hear it click in.

 

Before turning on the printer make sure you open the air vent plugs.
Turn on the printer and do a nozzle check. The first one will not be very good because you just primed the printhead.

Never do more then three cleaning at a time. Let it sit for about 2 or 3 hours then you can clean again.
