Installing Ink Cartridges and Print Heads

Supported Ink Cartridges

The PF-Pro Disc Printer uses 3 color and 1 black ink cartridges. The part numbers for these cartridges are PFP-HC-CYAN, PFP-HC-MAGENTA, PFP-HC-YELLOW, and PFP-HC-BLACK. If other cartridges are installed, the PF-Pro Disc Printer will not function. These cartridges are available from any Microboards reseller.

Refill kits or non-Microboards ink cartridges are not recommended for use in the PF-Pro Disc

Printer system. Use of non-Microboards cartridges will cause the printer to fail. Use of

refilled cartridges may cause the PF-Pro Disc Printer to fail.

Loading / Replacing Ink Cartridges

Cartridges can be changed while the PF-Pro Disc Printer is on, but it should never be turned on without an ink cartridge in place. An LED will light above any cartridge that is below 25% capacity.

Lower the ink door.

If replacing an empty ink cartridge, remove the color that needs changing by pulling straight out.

Remove each new print cartridge to be installed from its packaging.

Slide the correct ink cartridge into the correct slot with the arrows pointing down, as shown to the right.

Raise the ink door and latch it back into place. The printer will be ready after the ink cartridges pressurize and the Media Feed button LED goes out.

Installing / Replacing Printheads

The 2 Printheads are not installed when you receive the PF-Pro Disc Printer, and must be installed prior to using the printer. The printhead models are CG316A (yellow and black) and C9382A (cyan and magenta).

1.Raise the top Printhead Access Door.

2.If you are setting up the PF-Pro Disc Printer for the first time, remove any packaging materials from around the printhead carriage.

3.If you are replacing printheads and the printhead carriage is not parked all the way to the left, turn on the PF-Pro Disc Printer. With the Printhead Access Door opened, press and hold the Media Feed button until the carriage moves to the left and locks into position.

4.Lift the cradle latch. If you are replacing the currently installed printheads, remove the printheads by lifting the blue handle of each and gently pulling up on each handle.

5.Remove the printheads from the packaging.

6.Gently shake each printhead 6 times prior to removing the orange protective caps. Save the caps! If you remove the printheads from the PF-Pro Disc Printer, they should be recapped to avoid clogging the printheads and ink valves.

7.Gently press the printheads into the cradle, installing the correct printhead in the correct slot. DO NOT FORCE THE PRINTHEADS

INTO PLACE.

8.Lower the cradle latch carefully.

9.Lower the top Printhead door. The printhead carriage will return to the right and will be primed by the printer if the power is on.
