beeps.
NOTE If the printer does not beep when you insert the printhead and the Replace
message appears on the front-panel display, the printhead may need to be reinserted.
10. Close the window.
11. The front-panel display confirms that all printheads are correctly inserted. The printer starts
checking and preparing the printheads. The default routine process, when all printheads are
changed, takes 25 minutes. If the printer finds problems in preparing the printheads, it takes longer,
up to 55 minutes. For a single printhead insertion, the times vary between 20 and 40 minutes. After
all printheads are checked and prepared, the printhead realignment procedure runs automatically
if paper is loaded, see
Align the printheads on page 144.
