HP Ink Supplies Troubleshooting

 

Priming the Ink System

 

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

 

of six Setup Printheads pre-installed in the Carriage Assembly.

 

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 Assembly 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:

 

ν The Tubes System is empty when the customer receives the

 

Printer.

 

ν 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

CAUTION

 

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

 

show the "(XX11)Replace" message (Refer to 3-12, Error Status

 

Messages ).

 

 

When Should You Replace the HP Ink Supplies?

When to change the HP Ink 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 Ink 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 Ink 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.
