7. SealallremainingpaperbyplacingintheFujiPapercasesandkeepinasafearea.
8. Followingthesestepsshouldkeeptheprintheadandinksinworkingorderforatapproximately30days.Ifthe
downtimeisknowntobemorethan30days,itwouldbebesttodrainandflushtheprinters.Asanalternative,
onemightbeabletoprolongthedormanttimebyperiodicallymakingafewprintsortestprintsandthendoa
normalshutdown.Performingaweeklynozzlecheck,weeklyDiagnosticCleaningandifindicatedaForced
Cleaningwouldbeidealifthatispossible.
Recommendation:
1. Iftheprinterisexpectedtobeoutofserviceformorethan30days,itwouldbeadvisabletoflushthesystemof

Ink Discharge and Flushing Instructional
Preface
These instruction are intended to guide you through the process of discharging and flushing the ink from your DX100. Please read this
page and refer back to it for troubleshooting.
Supplies required to perform ink discharge and flushing are as follows:
6 - Drain Cartridges / Part # 1614982
6 - Cleaning Cartridges / Part # 1614981
1 - Maintenance Cartridge /SAP# 16394996
The Draining Cartridge can be used over an over again. It is important to keep them stored in a safe place as to not damage the
cartridge or the chip located on the side of the cartridge.
The Cleaning Cartridge can be used ten (10) times. We recommend marking on the cartridge the amount of times it has been used. It is
also important to keep them stored in a safe place as to not damage the cartridge or the chip located on the side of the cartridge.
The Maintenance Cartridge can typically be used twice for either an initial ink charge or discharge and flushing. However, the cartridge
can be used for printing production until the printer deems it as full.
The PC being used for this process should only have one DX100 connected at a time. Having more than one printer connected will
cause a communication conflict with in the application. At this time MAC is not support for performing this process on the DX100.
When performing the procedure you may encounter circumstances that require further steps as described below:
Q. What if an Ink light turns amber and the printer is beeping?
A. Open the Ink cartdridge cover and remove the cartridge, then re-insert it, close the cover and allow the printer to re-initialize.
Q. What if I receive a communication error?
A. Power off the printer and close the Application, Then restart the printer. When the printer has a steady blue light, open the
Application and try again.
Q. Why are all the ink lights, Exclamation, Maintenance, and Paper Light on and the printer is beeping.
A. Typically this is caused by having the incorrect cartridges in the printer. i.e. drain cartridges are in when the printer requires
cleaning.
Q. What if I am having trouble with this process? Can I call the HelpDesk?
A. Yes, Please call 1.800.669.3854. Please have this document when discussing with the agent to better help with your issue.
