On the first use of our TM-C3400 Inkjet Printer, we
will be filling the ink channels and printhead with ink.
Once you start an ink cartridge in the printer for
the first time, please, leave the printer alone until
the green power light stops flashing. Opening a
door (ink or media) or turning the power on/off will
restart this filling cycle. Repeated cycling of the doors
or power may result in depleting this initial cartridge
before you print anything.
After this fill cycle is complete, less purging of the
ink will occur (typically 3-5 secs) with each door
opening or power cycling. This cycling is normal so
that we keep the printer ready for you to use. Unless
the printer will be idle for an extended time (typically,
more than a week), leave it on. The printer has Auto
Nozzle Checking technology and will keep it ready to
use with a minimal use of cleaning ink.
