printheads: a black ink printhead and a tri-color ink printhead.
NOTICE: After you have set up the printer, do not open the printhead latch unless instructed to do so.
Printhead latch The printhead latch on the carriage secures the printheads in the carriage. Make sure the printhead latch is
properly closed to avoid problems such as carriage jams.
NOTICE: After you have set up the printer, do not open the printhead latch unless instructed to do so.
Ink tanks Ink tanks are external ink reservoirs located at the right side of the printer. There are four ink tanks. Each
ink tank corresponds to an individual color: black, cyan, magenta, and yellow.
Ink tank caps Ink tank caps are rubber plugs that seal each ink tank.
Priming Priming is the process of lling the ink supply tubes that run between the ink tanks and the printheads. It is
required to complete the priming process during printer setup.
