Step 5
Install Ink Tanks & Printhead:
Open the top cover on the ColorMax 7. Press the Printhead Release Button
(located as shown). This will unlock the Printhead latch.
WARNING! Never attempt to open the Printhead
latch manually when in the closed/locked posi-
tion. Severe damage may result. Use the Print-
head Latch Release Function from the Toolbox
Utility on your computer, or press the Printhead
Latch Release Button if a computer is not available.
Remove the Fluidic Cap Protectors. Open the Ink Tank Door and release
the Tank Latches. Insert the five ink tanks into their slots (latches are
marked) label side up. Pull tanks back about an inch then re-insert to
make a good connection. Close latches, ensuring both sides snap into
place.
Remove the Printhead from its packaging. Gen-
tly remove the protective tape. Wet one of the
included lint-free wipes with a good amount of
de-ionized water and wipe the Printhead nozzles.
Be careful not to wet the contacts.
Insert the Printhead cartridge at an angle so the ink ports face the ink
couplings and click it forward into place. Once it is installed, close the
Printhead Latch. The ColorMax 7 will automatically prime the Printhead
with ink. This process will take a few minutes. Please refer to the Opera-
tor’s Guide for additional instructions to run the Printhead Conditioning
Routine and start printing.
Step 4
Load ColorMax 7 Software:
At this time, locate the Installation CD and the
USB Printer Cable in the Accessory Box. From
the Operation CD Main Menu, choose the
option that says “Install Printer Software” and
follow the on-screen instructions.
When the installer program says to connect
the printer to the computer, plug the USB ca-
ble into the printer, then your computer. Con-
tinue to follow the prompts, and accept any
messages from Windows asking if you wish to
continue the installation. If your firewall asks
for permission, grant access to the software.
Once complete, you will see the M Series
Driver in your list of available printers.
Also installed is the
Toolbox (look
for the Memjet
folder on the
Start Menu),
which gives you
advanced con-
trol of your Color-
Max 7.
