the installation. If your firewall asks for permission,
grant access to the software. Once complete, you will
see the “S Series Driver” in your list of available
printers.
The “Toolbox” is also installed

monitoring and advanced control
of your MACH 6 from your
computer. Look for “S Series
Driver Toolbox” located within the
“Memjet” folder from the
computer’s Start Menu.
Refer to the User Guide for Operating Printer.

the ink couplings and click it forward into place. Once
the cartridge is installed, slowly close the Printhead
Latch. Close the Printhead Door to start the Printhead
