9. Close and lock the printer window.
10. The front-panel display confirms that all of the printheads are correctly inserted. The printer starts
checking and preparing the printheads. The default routine process, when all printheads are
changed, takes up to 18 minutes. If the printer identifies a problem when preparing the printheads,
the process takes longer, up to 30 minutes. For a single printhead insertion, the time varies between
10 and 20 minutes. After all printheads are checked and prepared, the printhead realignment
procedure runs automatically if substrate is loaded. See the Maintenance and troubleshooting
guide

Replace the printhead cleaning kit
When the front panel prompts you to replace the printhead cleaning kit, you should replace first the
printhead cleaning cartridge, then the ink funnel, then the printhead cleaning container.
Replace the printhead cleaning cartridge
A message appears on the front panel when the printhead cleaning cartridge is almost full, and again
when it is completely full and must be changed. Follow these precautions when removing a printhead
cleaning cartridge:
● Be careful not to get ink on your hands. Ink may be on, around and inside the replaced printhead
cleaning cartridge.
● Always handle and store the replaced printhead cleaning cartridge upright to avoid spilling any ink.
WARNING! Make sure that the printer wheels are locked (the brake lever is pressed down) to prevent
the printer from moving.
