Printer Menus

Using the Main Menu (continued)

10. Purge Print Head

This menu item is used to clean the ink jet cartridge nozzles. The purge process fires all the ink jet nozzles onto a piece of media to dislodge and clear any dried ink on the print nozzles. Often this will return the print quality to a normal level.

Once the purge is started, the – button may be pressed to stop the cycle.

For instructions how to use the menus and select an op- tion, refer to page A-4.

11. Reset Ink Counter

The printer calculates the amount of ink used by each of the Print Cartridges. When the On-Line (green LED) starts to blink it is a signal that one or more of the Print Cartridges is less than 5% full and it must be changed relatively soon. After new Print Cartridges are installed the Ink Count needs to be reset to stop the green LED from blinking.

This item displays the estimated amount of ink remaining in the print cartridge(s).

Press the + plus or – minus button to scroll through the print cartridges 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. When the desired Print Cartridge number is displayed, press the Enter button to reset the percent ink to 100%.
