color and black cartridges for optimal print quality. In addition, this utility will allow you to center and adjust your printed image. Refer to the following for a description of the settings in this area.
You will see both the Color and Monochrome Ink Levels are displayed. The Color Ink Level represents the lowest color in your cartridge. For instance, if your cartridge has 80% cyan 50% yellow and 65% magenta ink remaining, the level reported would be 50%. You will also see the following buttons:
Clean Cartridge
Cartridges that sit idle in the Publisher for a period of time may start to experience some drying of ink in the tiny nozzles that make up the print head. Clicking the Clean Cartridge button will cause the Publisher to pick a disc and place in into the printer tray. The Publisher will then print a simple pattern that will flush ink through the nozzles. The test pattern will also show you if any nozzles are clogged. In the pattern you will see some diagonal lines which should be continuous; breaks in those lines indicate a clogged nozzle. Please note that it may require more than one cleaning to fully clear all nozzles. If the nozzles are not fully clear after a few cleaning prints, it may be necessary to remove the cartridge and actually clean the print head by gently blotting the nozzles with a moist cloth or paper towel and replace it in the Publisher.
