Getting Acquainted
Getting Acquainted
is chapter helps you get acquainted with the Xstreamjet by describing its main com-
ponents. Important safety information is provided, as well as tips for general printer
use. e Xstreamjet’s specications are also included.
Xstreamjet Components
e Xstreamjet is easy to operate and maintain. e gures below depicts its main
external features.
e primary internal features include the print head and the cartridge bin as shown
below.
Status LED / Tray Control
e status LED glows continuously to indicate that the printer has power. Error con-
ditions are indicated by a series of ashing patterns. (See the Troubleshooting chapter
for more information.)
In addition, this button provides a way to manually operate the disc try. Press the but-
ton to extend (open) the tray; press it again to retract (close) the tray. (Note: during
normal operation, the tray is extended and retracted by soware commands.)

Disc Tray Opening
A mechanical tray that holds the disc to be printed extends and rejects through the
disc tray opening.
Waste Ink Level Indicator
e Xstreamjet uses two high-capacity waste ink reservoirs to store ink used during
print head nozzle cleaning operations. e reservoirs are serviceable by the end-user
and should be emptied regularly to avoid overlling.
e waste ink level indicator displays the current level of waste ink in the reservoirs.
Vent
A slotted vent in the rear of the unit provides air ow to the device internals. Do not
block the vent by placing the Xstreamjet ush against a vertical surface such as a wall
or partition.
Cable Connectors
Cables that connect the printer to its host are attached to the rear of the printer. Note
that separate jacks are provided for printer control (mini-din style connector) and user
data (USB 2.0 style connector).
Power Switch
A switch that controls power to the printer is found at the rear of the unit.
AC Power Input
e AC power input is a receptacle for a standard grounded 120 AC power cord.
Cartridge Bin
An array of (6) inkjet cartridges supply ink to the Xstreamjet. e cartridges are
stored in a special holder under the front cover.
Print Head
e print head consists of an array of ink nozzles that apply the ink to the media
surface. Periodic cleaning of the nozzles is a standard user maintenance activity and
ensures proper operation over the printer’s full duty cycle.
The Xstreamjet differs from other
printers in that cleaning the print
head generates waste ink that must
be emptied.
Empty the waste ink containers
periodically to ensure proper
operation of your Xstreamjet.
Waste Ink Removal
The Xstreamjet may also be used
with Microtech’s Continuous Ink
System (CIS).
