        Epson 1400 with MIS CFS Installed 

        *A perfect print with OEM cartridges is a must* 

 

Prerequisite

 - 

Before starting this installation, you MUST test your printer to make sure it is printing 
100% correctly. The best way to do this is to first print a Nozzle pattern, using the 
printer utility software provided by Epson. Once a perfect nozzle pattern is achieved, 
print 5 copies of the MIS 

purge6.tif

 image using the Plain Paper and 360 dpi settings on 

the printer. All 5 pages must print without banding or skipping (white spaces). If your 
printer cannot do this, 

do not

 install the CFS. Run no more than 3 cleaning cycles or get 

new cartridges. Do not proceed until you can pass these tests. The Purge6 image can be 
found on the diskette included with your system. If you have a Mac you can download it 
from our website. You can also get it from the Helpdesk Download Library.
