Step 1

Check and Prepare Cartridges

  1. Before inserting the cartridges in the printer, hold the cartridges near the Quality Management Module (QMM) to check that the ink and make-up type is correct.

    The lights on the QMM will flash amber to indicate that the RFID tags are being read. When the RFID tags have successfully been read and validated, the lights will turn green.

    Note Icon.png  NOTE
    • If a fault is detected, the QMM lights will turn red and an alert will be displayed on the Status tab.
    • If the RFID tag cannot be read, or an RFID tag is not present, the QMM lights will turn solid amber.
