How to Change Ink Bags
Introduction
The ink is supplied to the printer in 2 liter bags. The bags have a non-spill coupler
bonded into the top corner. When installing onto the printer, the bags are inverted and
the quick connect couplers are pushed into their corresponding female coupling -
opening up the flow path for the ink. If a bag of ink with an invalid serial number,
expired use-by date, incorrect color, or expired tag is connected to the printer, then
the operator is alerted.
When to do
An ink bag can be replaced at any time. Ink bags should be replaced when:
■
The operator LCD panel displays an "XXX ink low" message (the ink bag does
not need to be changed immediately but monitor the level of ink remaining and
change the bag before the ink runs out.
■
The operator sees the bag is empty.
■
An ink bag is nearly empty and the operator wants to leave the printer unattended
during a long print and does not want the ink to run out. The nearly empty bag
can be reconnected and used up later when the operator is present.
Note: An ink bag can be changed during a print job. it is not necessary to stop the
printer.
