Install the Inkjet Cartridges

SECTION 2

INSTALLING THE PRINTER

The AstroJet 2600P/2800P can be configured with up to six inkjet cartridges. The cartridges are installed as follows:

•Remove the inkjet cartridge from its packaging, taking care not to touch the copper contacts, the metal plate, or the gold printhead. Remove the protective tape from the printhead.

•The cartridges are held in place by a latch lever mounted on the inkjet cartridge holder. Release the lever by raising it vertical.

•With the cartridge’s printhead pointing down, slide the cartridge into the holder and push down and toward the contacts in the holder.

• Make sure the cartridge is seated in the holder then close the latch lever to secure the cartridge in the holder. Do not force the lever into place. (See the diagram.)

•Repeat the above for the remaining cartridges.

NOTE: For optimum image quality during the run, refer to "Cleaning the Printhead”.

The ink in the cartridge may be harmful if swallowed. Keep new and used cartridges out of reach of children. Discard empty cartridges immediately.

Setting up the Feed

1.Release the separator-locking lever located on the operator’s side of the feeder and raise the separators to the up and locked position. Move the side guides out to their extreme open position. Place one piece of media in the center of the feed table.

2.There are four separators on the feeder. Use the two center separators for narrow media and all four separators for wide media. Place the media under the separators and lower the separators so that they rest on the media.

3.Rotate the locking lever up to lock the separators in place.
