13 Make sure the cartridge primer is making good contact with the jet
area. Pulse the pump 3 - 5 times, until the ink is visible in the
cartridge primer sight tube. Maintain good contact between the
inkjet plate and the pump for an additional 5 seconds.
When removing the cartridge primer, use the silicone tip to wipe and
clean the jet plate. Clean the silicone tip of ink before moving to the
next cartridge.
14 Reprint the color test and prime test pattern. (The paper axis test is
only required when changing media). Inspect to ensure proper
cartridge firing is maintained for each color.
15 Re-prime cartridges as necessary to remove clogs. Manually
bypass (compensate) clogged jets as necessary as described on
page 22.
16 Once all cartridges operate correctly, print the color deadband and
color calibration test patterns as described in the section on
"Aligning the ink cartridges". See page 23.
