Chapter V: Ink Attachment Maintenance


A.	Ink Attachment Maintenance Menu

	After installation, an Ink Attachment Maintenance Menu supplement can be found with your Pro unit's operator panel. Press on the Pro's Menu button to enter the ViewPlus Pro Ink printer's Main Menu. Use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to get to the 'Advanced menu >' option. Press SELECT to enter. Use the UP and DOWN keys again to look for the menu item 'Inkjet >'. This item appears only after the Ink Attachment option is installed. Press SELECT to enter the Inkjet maintenance menu. Navigating through the sub menu with the UP and DOWN keys will lead to following information (given in written and spoken messages). Press the SELECT button to enter any the following submenus: Fill status of the two inkjet cartridges which is displayed in percentage from 100% (full cartridge) down to 1%. The ink attachment firmware revision number. The product serial number, which can be accessed by pressing SELECT from this sub menu item. The Ink-Emboss Alignment submenu ('Ink-Emb align >'). Press SELECT to enter this sub menu. See the next section for further explanation. Exit the menu level by level using the BACK key, or press ONLINE to leave the Main Menu altogether in one step.

B.	Ink-Emboss Alignment

	The Ink-Emboss Alignment Menu can be entered through the Ink Attachment Maintenance Menu. SELECT menu item 'Ink-Emb align >'. This menu will give you the option to print a calibration pattern, and to set an alignment value. Print the pattern first by pressing SELECT when menu item 'Print ink align.' appears. The printer will emboss and overprint a row of rectangular shapes. Numbers will be printed below each rectangle. Picture shows example print out of an Ink-Emboss calibration pattern. Look for the box where the ink and embossed shape overlay the best. Then go to menu item 'Set InkEmb alig.' and press SELECT. Use the UP and DOWN keys to choose the value which is written underneath your selected box on the paper. Press SELECT to save the setting.

C.	Replacing the Ink Cartridges

	To replace ink cartridges slide open the top panel on the Ink Attachment housing all the way. The carriage will automatically move into position so that the cartridges are accessible through the opening. The ViewPlus Pro Ink will display 'Housing open!' to notify the user of an open Ink Attachment housing. Pull upwards on the tail of the cartridge to remove a cartridge. Unpack a new cartridge to load. Be sure to remove the little plastic strip covering the cartridges' nozzle. Insert the new cartridge before you close the Ink Attachment housing again; otherwise the printer will report an error of an inkjet cartridge missing, but it will print anyway. When you close the ink housing after replacing a cartridge, the printer will perform a cleaning procedure. The printer will recognize that an ink cartridge has been exchanged and display 'Repl. Cart. 1? SELECT'. Press SELECT to confirm if you put in a new cartridge. SELECT will reset the cartridge ink level counter. Any other button will NOT reset the ink level counter and the printer will not be able to display the correct ink fill status for the lifetime of this new cartridge. To cancel this interrogation press ONLINE. The cleaning procedure will also test the integrity of the ink cartridges. It will test every nozzle and show an error message if there is a problem with one of the cartridges. In this case, one or more of the nozzles of an ink cartridge are damaged and new ink cartridge is needed. If you continue printing with a damaged cartridge, the printout will not be correct.
