Caution: Be careful! The Ink charge takes about 10 minutes, so do not turn off or unplug TexJet echo2 while the ink charge is running. 

  • After the ink charge is complete, perform a head clean and a nozzle check. If the test comes out poor, perform an additional head clean followed by a nozzle check to confirm that you have a full nozzles.

The Ink Charge will then be complete, and you can then proceed with printing.
