B. In the partial Prime Pattern example below, jet 111 is clogged (an empty cell). Jet 114 (100%
fill) is defective and is being automatically compensated. Jets 105 and 108 (80% fill) have been
manually bypassed (toggled off) by the operator to compensate for clogged jets. Please note jet
105 is shown as recovered and may be toggled back on. When jets are toggled off they are not
used by the printer. Up to 20 jets in each color may be compensated while maintaining photo
quality printing. Refer to the printed compensation list above the Prime pattern to verify print pass
mode support. For example if the following is printed <M: -----, BEST> then only the 6-pass mode
(BEST) is supported. The main thing to remember is 80% or 100% filled blocks will not cause
micro-banded output, but clogged (or missing) and degraded jets can cause microbanding
in prints. Please familiarize yourself with the four types of indicators in the Prime pattern below:
C. Scroll through the printer display to obtain total ink throughput
(Utility Menu - Select - Down
Arrow to
Service Menu - Select - Down Arrow to Disp Cart Info - Select). If the cartridge displays
greater than 165 ml of ink throughput, the cartridge has reached its warranted life. The cartridge
management system assures the highest quality and reliable productivity through the useful life of
the cartridge, which may extend beyond the cartridge warranty period. In order to ensure the
quality of output, the cartridges will shut off after 350 ml of ink throughput. If the cartridge has
reached the end of its life, 'Cartridge End of Life' message, it should be replaced.
D. Cleaning the print cartridge nozzles:
1. Activate the Clean function, followed by the Prime pattern.
2. If the printed bars of the print-out fades on either side of the pattern or is shorter than the other
bars, then this would indicate that the cartridge is running low on that particular color ink (refer to
3.A. above). Check the snap-on reservoir for a tight seal and possible leaks. If this is the case,
you will need to replace the snap-on reservoir first, then the cartridge second to verify. If this is
not the case, then go on to step 3.
3. If print quality does not improve, remove and re-install the print cartridge.
4. Repeat the Prime-Clean function, followed by the Prime pattern again. If print quality is still
unacceptable, wipe the print cartridge nozzles using step E below.
