Get to know the ink tank system Term Printheads Definition The printheads are the components in the print mechanism that apply ink to the paper. There are two printheads: a black ink printhead and a tri-color ink printhead. NOTE: After you have set up the printer, do not open the printhead latch unless installing new printheads or moving the printer outside your home or office. Printhead latch The printhead latch on the carriage secures the printheads in the carriage. Make sure the printhead latch is properly closed to avoid problems such as carriage jams. NOTE: After you have set up the printer, do not open the printhead latch unless installing new printheads or moving the printer outside your home or office. Ink tanks Ink tanks are external ink reservoirs located at the right side of the printer. There are four ink tanks. Each ink tank corresponds to an individual color: black, cyan, magenta, and yellow. Ink tank caps Priming Alignment Ink tank caps are rubber plugs that seal each ink tank. Priming is the process of filling the ink supply tubes that run between the ink tanks and the printheads. This process occurs when you install new printheads and start the priming process from the control panel. For more information about priming, see Printhead priming and alignment icons on page 12. Alignment is a process of aligning the printheads to improve print quality. For more information about alignment, see Printhead priming and alignment icons on page 12.
