Unpack Your MACH 5:
Remove the printer and accessories
from the packaging. Store the packing
material in a safe place.
Set the printer onto a level, stable
surface. Use a carpenter’s level to
make any adjustments to the work
table where the MACH 5 will be
operating. Level is very important to the
proper operation of the MACH 5, and
the electronics of the unit will check for
it once powered up. Do not move the
MACH 5 while the power is on.
It is critical that you read and
understand the Operators Guide. This is
brand new technology, and improper
use can result
in damage
to the unit.
Read the
manual.
Install Media Guides:
Locate the side guides and rear media
support guide in the accessory box
(wrapped in foam).
Install the side guides to the hopper
brackets where the mounting screws
are taped in place. The rear media
support guide mounts with the large
rubber thumbscrew on the back plate,
and the media support wedge attaches
to it with a thumbscrew.
When complete, your machine should
look like this:
Remove the Shipping Insert:
The cardboard Shipping Insert secures the
Service Station during printer transport.
Please remove as shown below [1-4]. Save
it with the packaging for future use.
Remove the Tape [5] which secures the
Media Head Guide during transport.
WARNING:
DO NOT PLUG-IN OR POWER-UP THE PRINTER
BEFORE REMOVING THE CARDBOARD “SHIPPING
INSERT”! DAMAGE TO PRINTER MAY RESULT!

Connect Power to
the MACH 5:
Make sure that the main power switch
(item 1 in the image below) is in the
OFF position.
Plug the AC power cord into the
receptacle on the printer, located below
the main power switch.
Plug the other end of the AC power cord
into a 115V AC, 60 Hz (or 230V 50 Hz
for international) grounded outlet with a
high quality surge protector.
DO NOT turn
the power
switch (1)
on at this
time!
Load MACH 5
Software:
At this time, locate your USB Printer Cable
in the accessory box. From the Operation
CD Main Menu, choose the option that says
Install Printer Software and follow the
instructions on screen.
When the installer program says to connect
the printer to the computer, plug the USB
cable into the printer, then your computer.
Continue to follow the prompts, and accept
any messages from Windows asking if you
wish to continue the installation. If your
firewall asks for permission, grant access
to the software.
Once complete, you will
see the M Series
Driver in your list of
available printers.
Also installed is
the Toolbox
(look for the
Memjet folder on
the Start Menu),
which gives you
advanced control of
your MACH 5.
Install Ink Tanks &
Printhead:
Open the top cover on the MACH5. Remove the Fluidic
Cap Protectors, then press the Printhead Release Button
(located as shown). This will unlock the Printhead latch.
WARNING! Never attempt to
open the Printhead latch
manually when in the closed/
locked position. Severe
damage will result. Use the
Printhead Latch Release
button from the Printhead
latch Release button.
Power down the printer using the On/Off button. Open
the Ink Tank Door & release the Tank Latches. Insert
the five ink tanks into their slots (latches are marked)
label side up. Pull tanks back about an inch then re-
insert to make a good connection. Close latches,
ensuring both sides snap into place and turn the printer
on again. Remove the Printhead from its packaging.
Gently remove the protective
tape. Wet one of the included
lint-free wipes with a good
amount de-ionized water and
wipe the Printhead nozzles.
Be careful to not wet the
contacts.
Insert the cartridge on an angle so the ink ports face
the ink couplings and click it forward into place. Once
the cartridge is installed, close the Printhead latch. The
MACH 5 will prime the Printhead with ink automatically.
This process will take a few minutes. Please refer to the
Operator’s Guide for additional instructions to run the
Printhead Conditioning Routine.
NOW YOU’RE READY TO PRINT!
