8 Make sure the ink primer is making good contact with the jet area.
Pulse the pump 3 - 5 times, until the ink is visible in the ink primer
sight tube, maintain good contact between the inkjet plate and the
pump for an additional 5 seconds.
When removing the ink primer, use the silicone tip to wipe and clean
the jet plate. Remember to clean the silicone tip of ink before moving
to the next cartridge.
9 Check that there are no twists in the ink delivery line.
Check for ink on the jet plate. Continuous bleeding of the jet plate
indicates a loss of vacuum in the cartridge or an air leak in the lines.
Correct this before proceeding.
10 Insert the cartridge into the carriage.
11 Print the Prime pattern and then align the cartridges using the Color
Calibration procedure described later in this guide.
Note: Anytime the 500 Series printer is idle, ink in the delivery lines will back up
the lines and will not be visible. This is due to shorter needles used in the
500 Series printers. You may also notice this absence of ink in the lines
immediately after priming the cartridges. This should not cause any
problems, as ink will become visible in the lines shortly after you start
printing.
