Install the Inkjet Cartridges
The AstroJet 2600P/2650P/2800P can be configured with up to six inkjet cartridges. The cartridges are installed as
follows:
• Remove the inkjet cartridge from its packaging, taking care not to touch
the copper contacts, the metal plate, or the gold printhead. Remove the
protective tape from the printhead.
• The cartridges are held in place by a latch lever mounted on the inkjet
cartridge holder. Release the lever by raising it vertical.
• With the cartridge's printhead pointing down, slide the cartridge into the
holder and push down and toward the contacts in the holder.
• Make sure the cartridge is seated in the holder then close the latch lever to
secure the cartridge in the holder. Do not force the lever into place.
(See the diagram.)
• Repeat the above for the remaining cartridges.
NOTE: For optimum image quality during the run, refer to "Cleaning
the Printhead".
The ink in the cartridge may be harmful if
swallowed. Keep new and used cartridges
out of reach of children. Discard empty
cartridges immediately.
