You will see the Color Ink Level is 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
A cartridge that sits 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. See Section
Change Cartridge
If you need to change the cartridge, it is a good idea to use the Change Cartridge button in the Configuration Utility. This ensures the most accurate tracking of ink levels. To change a cartridge, click the Change Cartridge button. The cartridge holder will move to the center of the Publisher to make it easier to install the cartridge. Lift the top cover and install the cartridge as described in Section 2 of this manual. You will
be prompted to let the system know whether or not you are installing a new or used color cartridge. Once installed, click the OK button and the system will update your cartridge levels.
Alignment Calibration Print
The Cartridge Alignment prints a test print and then automatically scans the print to configure your printer for bidirectional printing. It is important to perform this calibra- tion every time you change a cartridge. If you forget to per- form this calibration you will be prompted to do so before your first print from the new cartridge.
