4 The cutter fits in the printer on the left side of the carriage. To remove an old cutter,
push the cutter lever down and pull it out. Install the new cutter by pushing it into the
slot until it clicks into place.
5 Repeat steps 1-3 to move the carriage back into the service station. This ensures
that the cutter blade is in the home position.

Testing the cartridges

After the cartridges have been installed and media is loaded, run the following tests as
described in the sections which follow: color test, prime pattern, cartridge alignment,
and deadband test.

Printing the color test

prints a solid band of each of the four colors.
