Failure Analysis:
1. Ensure the cartridge is properly primed and pressure has been
established inside the cartridge (see SetUp procedures) Note:
When priming the cartridge it is important to ensure the suction
end of the EasyPrime or NovaPrime assembly is flush against the
cartridge jet plate. Prime cartridge using 3 consecutive 1 second
bursts and then wait 5 seconds, repeat 4-6 times over a 1 minute
period. A sucking noise should be heard from the EasyPrime or
NovaPrime when procedure is performed correctly.
2. Ensure the reservoirs are properly attached to the female valves
otherwise this may cause ink starvation in the ink delivery system
after only 10 minutes of print operations.

3. Ensure the cartridge needle septum connector assembly is tightly
secure. The assembly is composed of three parts which must be
tightly twisted together (do not overtighten!). Also, ensure the
printer is level on floor. A height difference from one side of the
printer to the other can also cause ink starvation.
4. Ensure the septum/cartridge tubing needle is properly connected
between the cartridge and carriage assembly. Replace reservoir
tubing needle and/or cartridge tubing needle if pressure is lost after
the procedure has been performed (a leak is present in the line).
