HP No.80 Ink Supplies Troubleshooting

 

Priming the Ink System

 

When the customer first receives the printer, it is supplied with a set

 

of four setup printheads pre-installed in the printhead carriage.

 

These setup printheads are used for the priming of the tubes in the

 

modular ink delivery system. The customer must not remove the

 

setup printheads from the carriage without following the procedures

 

in the Setup Guide.

 

When the Printer is powered ON for the first time, the printer will

 

automatically perform the priming process. Without the priming

 

process, the customer will NOT be able to use the printer.

 

Why does the Printer require priming:

 

The Tubes System is empty when the customer receives the

 

nPrinter.

 

The Tubes System has to be pressurized and filled with ink,

 

ejecting any air bubbles.

 

If the Printing Printheads are installed in the carriage during the

CAUTION

 

priming process, they will be rejected and the front panel will

 

show the "Wrong Model" message.

 

When Should You Replace the HP No.80 Supplies?

 

 

When to change the HP No.80 supplies is mostly determined by you

 

with guidance from the front panel. In conjunction with the

 

messages displayed in the front panel and the message explanations

 

in this chapter, you will be able to choose for yourself when is the

 

right time to change the HP No.80 supplies.

 

The printer will also display the ink level and will tell you when the

 

ink supply is low, very low or empty. This means you have

 

constantly updated information about the HP No.80 supplies.

 

Printhead life is anticipated to be 700ml or twelve months in the

 

printer, whichever occurs first, provided that the printhead is used

 

under normal operating conditions (using HP Ink Cartridges only)

 

and its “install before date” has not lapsed. However results vary

 

depending on the print quality setting being used.
