Ink cartridges
The printer's ink cartridges provide ink to the printheads: - For the Z6800: matte black, chromatic red,
magenta, yellow, light magenta, cyan, photo black and light gray - For the Z6600: matte black, yellow, light
magenta, cyan, photo black and light gray
Ink cartridges require no maintenance or cleaning. When each ink cartridge is shaken vigorously before
installation, and inserted correctly into its slot, the ink will flow to the printheads. Because the printheads
control the amount of ink that is transferred to the page, high-quality printing results continue even when
the ink levels are getting low.
CAUTION: Avoid touching pins, leads, and circuitry when handling ink cartridges because these elements
are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Such devices are called ESD-sensitive devices. See
Glossary
on page 219. Electrostatic discharges are one of the main hazards to electronics products. This type of
damage can reduce the life expectancy of the device.
Each ink cartridge can be used only in a specific region of the world, as indicated by the letter A, B, or C after
“773” on the cartridge label (see
Order ink supplies on page 79). If you move the printer to a different
region, you can change the region of your printer once in the following way:
1.
At the front panel, select the
icon.
2. Highlight Replace ink cartridges, but do not select it.
3. Press the Cancel key and the Down key at the same time, and hold them down for at least two seconds.
4. The front panel displays a series of warning messages. In response to each message, press the Cancel
key to cancel the process, or the OK key to confirm that you wish to continue.
5. The front panel prompts you to select your region: see
Select the printer region on page 56.
If you change the region of the printer, of course you will need to install the correct ink cartridges for the new
region.
