SECTION 2
INSTALLING THE PRINTER
Connecting the Optional Feeder to the Printer
A number of different RENA Feeder models can be used with the Envelope Imager XT3.0/XT4.0.
Note: Please refer to the operations manual provided with your feeder for feeder setup instructions.
A Feeder Interface Cable must be attached between the printer and feeder, as shown in Figure 9, so that the printer
can stop/start the feeder appropriately.
The feeder interface does NOT control feeder speed. The operator must manually adjust the speed of the feeder to be
slower than the printers transport speed. A gap of approximately 1 inch or more should be present, between each
piece of media as it feeds under the print units. If the speed of the feeder is set too fast, media will over-lap as it
feeds and cause jams in the printer.

SECTION 2
INSTALLING THE PRINTER
Installing the Ink Cartridges
The Envelope Imager XT 3.0 can accommodate six inkjet cartridges and the Envelope Imager XT 4.0 can
accommodate eight inkjet cartridges. Inkjet cartridges are installed as follows:
Remove the inkjet cartridge from its packaging, taking care not to touch the
copper contacts or the nozzle plate. Remove the protective tape from the inkjet
cartridge.
See “Appendix B” for a list of ink cartridges that are available for your printer.
•The cartridges are held in place by a latch lever mounted on the inkjet cartridge
holder (pen stall). Release the lever by raising it vertical.
•With the cartridge’s nozzle plate pointing down, slide the cartridge into the pen
stall and push down and toward the contacts in the pen stall.
•Make sure the cartridge is seated in the pen stall then close the latch lever to
secure the cartridge in the pen stall. Do not force the lever into place. (See the
diagram.)
Figure 10
•Reset the ink level monitor for this cartridge.
See “Ink Level Monitor Reset” below.
•Repeat the above for the remaining cartridges.
Figure 11
Ink Level Monitor Reset
The printer can automatically calculate the approximate ink level available in each cartridge. It does this using
a drop count method. When the level is calculated as being low (~5% ink remaining in the cartridge) the printer
will stop and display “Head # Low. Press Enter.”. After you press Enter, you can choose to ignore the warning
or you can check the cartridge. If the cartridge is almost empty, you should replace the cartridge and reset the
Ink Level Monitor using the flowing procedure.
Press the MENU key momentarily.
Use the “+” or “-” key to highlight “Enter when head (n) is filled”.
Press the ENTER key and install a new cartridge.
Repeat for each cartridge you install. When the ENTER key is pressed the display will change to “Head
(n) has a new cartridge”.
NOTE: This feature is only valid if the cartridges remain in their original positions, where they were first
installed. If you swap the cartridges from one stall position to another, the calculated ink levels will not be
accurate. It is suggested that you tag the cartridges with their original position number.
Quick Ink Level Monitor Reset (all Heads):Power the printer on while holding down the MENU key, until the
printer displays “Resetting all Ink Levels in Flash”. Then release the MENU key.
To check the level of ink in the cartridges, Press and hold the TEST key until the “Service Menu” appears. Use
the “+” or “-” key to scroll to the “Service Menu: Ink Levels, 100%100%100%”. This will show how much ink
remains in the cartridge.
The ink in the cartridge may be harmful if swallowed. Keep new and used
cartridges out of reach of children. Discard empty cartridges immediately.
