First-Time Power-Up and Test Print

Unpack the Printheads

After the printer is assembled and connected to power, you can power up the printer, load media and ink, and print a test print.

Have a paper towel ready to blot any cleaning fluid that has escaped from the printheads and foam pad during shipping. Most of the fluid should run off the SolaChrome Capping Film into the drip tray.

1.Remove the shipping straps and shrink wrap from around the carriage.

2.Remove the white shipping blocks on the sides of the cap- ping station, and the white shipping pad between the cap- ping station levers as shown in Fig. 1-17.

3.With the printhead carriage over the capping station as shipped, tip the carriage back until it just lifts off the pad below it.

Caution	Tipping the carriage back too far could damage the
	encoder, requiring its replacement. Also ensure that
	the encoder does not disengage from carriage.

4.Remove the thin black foam pad that is pressed against the printheads, and save it for future use.

When saturated with cleaning fluid, this pad can be used to recover stubbornly clogged jets (see Cleaning Solvent Soak on page 5-9).
