Cartridges
Included in the Accessories are Cartridge Capping Assem- blies. These are designed to enclose the Print Cartridge nozzles. Proper use of the Cartridge Capping Assemblies helps to maintain good print quality and prevents ink from drying and clogging the Print Cartridge nozzles.
Use the Cartridge Capping Assemblies when the printer is left to idle or shut down for more than a few min- utes.
1.Remove the Print Cartridge from the Print Heads assembly.

NOTE: Keep the Print Cartridge in order or numbered otherwise the counter for the percent ink remaining will give false information.
2. Remove any excess ink on the nozzles.
3. Clean any ink buildup on the rubber seal of the Cartridge Capping Assembly to prevent it from obstructing the nozzles.
4.Install the Print Cartridge nozzle first into the Cartridge Capping Assembly, then press the top section completely in.
5.Remove the Print Cartridge from the Cartridge Capping Assembly in reverse order.
Suggestion: Check the Print Head Alignment and perform a purge of the Print Cartridges before operating the printer.
