    6 INSTALLING THE INK CARTRIDGES This section explains how to install the ink cartridges.

    Caution

    When handling ink cartridges, be careful not to get ink into your eyes or on your skin. However, if this happens, flush immediately with water. Otherwise, your eyes may become inflamed slightly. If you feel discomfort, consult a doctor immediately.

    Do not disassemble ink cartridges. Otherwise, ink may get into your eyes or on your skin. Do not shake ink cartridges. Doing so may cause ink leakage.

    To install the ink cartridges, follow the steps below.

    Step 1 : Switch ON the plotter.

    The plotter initializes. The operation panel displays "[KCMY] Cartridge".

    Step 2 : Insert the ink cartridges in the plotter as follows :

    The ink cartridges must be inserted in a specific slot according to the type and colour used. Insert the cartridges with the arrow mark face-up and pointing to the rear of the printer. Insert the cartridges as far as possible. Install all four colours. Match the colour marked on the side of the slot with the colour of the ink cartridge.

    No. Name 1 Ink cartridge 2 Ink cartridge slots K 3 Ink cartridge slots C 4 Ink cartridge slots M 5 Ink cartridge slots Y

    Notes The DrafStation ink cartridges have been developed in such a way that miss-insertion is not possible. For each colour, a different design is used, i.e., fins are placed at the outside of each cartridge, at different locations, depending on the ink colour used.

    Result: The operation panel displays "Ink Refill **min", and the initial ink replenishment starts.

    The ink replenishment takes about five minutes. Initial ink replenishment and pause operation are repeated during initial filling.

    After the ink replenishment is completed, the operation panel displays "Paper End".

    Notes After an initial ink fill, the following can occur :

    Printed lines become blurred.

    White lines appear in the prints.

    If this is the case, perform a head cleaning, two to three times, as described in the Users Guide, and check the results. If the quality of the printed image has not improved, even after performing head cleaning, then leave the plotter unused for more than one hour. After that, perform a head cleaning again and check the printed image. If the quality still hasnt improved, than contact your local MUTOH dealer.
