This section lists possible problems you may encounter when using the
Kodak Digital Science Super12 Document Printer.
Be sure the Super12 Document Printer is seated correctly
on the printer bracket.
Press Stop and wait approximately 5 seconds for the
Super12 Document Printer to reach the capped position
before opening any doors, performing any printer
functions or turning off any switches.
Press F48 (Auto Purge).
Press F45 (Test Pattern).
See the next section entitled "How print position is effected
by patch reading" for more detailed information.
If you are experiencing poor print quality, check the
following:
Check to be sure the print cartridges are not empty.
If you are using a black print cartridge, check the
Full/Empty indicator to see how much ink remains in the
cartridge. If it is empty, insert a new print cartridge.
If you are using a red print cartridge, weigh the print
cartridge to be sure it has an adequate ink supply; a full
print cartridge weighs approximately 110 grams; an
empty print cartridge weighs approximately 70 grams.
Use F56 to verify that all jets are functioning properly.
Clean the wipers and gaskets. See the procedures in
the section entitled, "Maintenance".
When finished:
Press F48 (Auto Purge).
