Manual Priming

Maintenance interval: as needed.

If you discover that an excessive number of jets are out on a printhead (after cleaning or printing the prime bars or other test), you can attempt to recover jets by performing a manual prime.

This procedure requires a special priming bulb, included with the printer. Each prime will expel approximately 1 ml of ink. To keep ink counting as accurate as possible. you will report the number of primes to the printer via the control panel.
