Flush the Ink System
The purpose of this procedure is to fl ush all of the ink out of the bulk ink system ink
lines, cartridges, print head and capping assembly. This helps prevent ink build
up and promotes the life of the capping station and print head. This procedure
is also necessary for preparing the T-JET3 PLUS for down time.
NOTE: For best results make sure that the cap assembly is clean and free of any
dried ink or debris.
1. Using the adjustment program, reset the maintenance tank counter on the
T-JET3 Plus. This will insure that during this procedure, the maintenance tank
will not read as full. Refer to Chapter 7 - Maintenance Utilities to Improve Print
Quality - Resetting the Waste Ink Counter for instructions.
2. Press the ink button. This will release the carriage off of the capping
assembly. Refer to Chapter 4 - Printing Basics for more information on
the control panel buttons.
3. Turn the power off using the power switch located on
the back of the machine near the power cord. Move the
head off the capping assembly to gain access to the bulk
system ink cartridges.
