Note : Do not compress the suction bulb while it is in contact with the jet
area. Compressing the bulb may force air back into the cartridge, causing
loss of negative pressure.
5 Make sure the suction bulb is making good contact with the jet area.
Release the pressure on the suction bulb so it draws ink through the jet
area of the cartridge. If you don't see ink in the jet area, repeat the process.
Gently blot the nozzle with a lint-free cloth.
Note: Do not turn the cartridge upside down as air inside the cartridge may
be expended back through the tubing or jet plate and negative pressure in
the cartridge can be depleted.
6 Turn the cartridge so there are no twists in the ink delivery line and install
the cartridge in its corresponding carriage position. Cartridge positions are
labeled in the carriage.
Note: It is very important that the ink delivery line is not twisted. To prevent
this, be sure the ink delivery line is completely relaxed before installing the
cartridge.
Put the cartridge in "bottom first" and then press the top of the cartridge
toward the carriage to snap into place. It is possible that the nozzle plate
will drip some ink when the cartridge is first installed. If ink continues to
bleed from the jet plate, repriming of the cartridge is required.
