that the battery is almost dis-

Installing the Ink Container in the
Printer
When the printer is delivered, the ink
container is detached. Follow the
steps below in order to install the
container:
1. Remove the container from pack-
ing 10 .
2. Position the container in relation
to the back of the printer so that
three bayonets 31 of the con-
tainer aim at guide holes of the
container connector. At that mo-
ment arrow
12 indicates the
OPEN position.
3. Insert bayonets 31 into the guide
holes and while pressing the con-
tainer against the printer turn it
clockwise, so that arrow
12 is in
the CLOSE position.
When the ink container is installed,
the printer is ready for operation
within about 10 seconds after it has
been switched on.
How to Check Whether There is
any Ink in the Ink Container?
When the printer stops printing make
sure that there is no ink in the con-
tainer. You can assess the ink level in
the container in two ways:
1. Weigh the printer on installing a
new container - write down the
weight. When the container is
empty, the weight of the printer is
smaller by about 83 grams.
2. Detach the full container from the
printer, place it with its bayonets
31 up into a vessel whose diame-
ter is slightly greater than the di-
ameter of the container and pour
water so that the container starts
floating without turning upside
down. Mark the water level on
the vessel before (line 1) and af-
ter (line 2) the full container has
been immersed. Then insert the
empty container and mark the
immersion level (line 3). You can
check the ink consumption level
at any time by immersing the
container in water and comparing
the current level with the previous
lines (lines 2 and 3). Make sure
there is always the same water
level in the vessel (line 1).
