  If your Domino Printer's control unit isn't printing, or the print fades and disappears, there are several potential causes: * The nozzle plate ship cap may be on. Remove it. * The header tank might be out of ink. Check the ink out indicator and replace the ink bottle if necessary. * There may be an issue with the control unit port. Check cable connections and ensure the QR plug is undamaged. If damaged, contact Domino for advice. * The header tank air vent valve could be in the closed position. Remove the control unit cover and open the vent.
