Use & Details

• When to Replace: Weak suction/pump errors, frequent recovery cleans, air leaks around the purge area, ink drips at cap, or visible cracks/warping on the adapter.

• Installation Notes:

  • Power off; park/lock the carriage and observe ink-handling safety.

  • Remove old adapter; inspect/replace O-rings; seat tubing fully—no kinks.

  • Observe correct orientation (upper vs. lower piece).

  • After assembly, verify cap height/level per service specs; run a purge and nozzle check.

• Post-Install Checks: Hold-vacuum test, overnight seal check, and a fresh nozzle pattern before production.

• Compatibility Checklist: JF model → serial-range diagram → “upper” vs. lower adapter → required O-ring/tube size → fasteners.

Important: Incorrect cap height or vacuum leaks can damage the printhead and waste ink. Professional installation/calibration is recommended. Electronics/consumable service parts are typically non-returnable—confirm your exact model and diagram before ordering.
