Chapter II: Storing Ink Cartridges


A.	Introduction

	All ink cartridges are sensitive to exposure to air, and the ink path needs to be kept filled with ink. The PIA design made it necessary to position the ink cartridges in a manner that makes them slightly more susceptible to drying out if not used on a regular basis.

B.	Times to Store

	If you are going to move your PIA, your ink cartridges should be removed and stored. If you know that you are not going to be using the PIA for an extended length of time, there are two options. One is to remove the PIA from the ViewPlus Pro and store it with the label down. Two would be to remove the ink cartridges and store them.

C.	Methods to Store

	Types of Containers Use a ziplock bag Use a rigid plastic container Be sure the cartridge is in the upright position with the ink head down and the label up If possible a damp cloth could be stored in the same container. Be sure that the cloth is not touching the ink head.

D.	Returning the cartridges to the PIA

	If you want to keep the ink level counter accurate, do not confirm that you've replaced the cartridge.
