INK INSTALLATION
The steps below will walk you through the process of filling all the ink for your new printer.
You will need: one bottle of cyan, magenta, yellow, black and white ink.
It is also recommended you use the syringes and green tips to fill the ink tanks; keep in mind you will
need one syringe with a tip for each color to avoid ink contamination.
1.
Gently remove the ink tank compartment that is hooked to the right-hand side of the printer, lay
it down on its side and open the top black flap so you can see the rubber plugs on each ink tank.
2.
You will notice that the top black flap has colored arrows pointing to each ink tank indicating
where each color is to go, the middle two tanks are both for white. Shake each bottle of ink very
well before filling the tanks. The order in which you choose to fill the ink tanks does not matter,
just be sure to only have
one
rubber plug open at a time to avoid ink contamination. When you
have completed filling an ink tank, securely plug it closed before continuing to the next color.
Each ink tank should be filled at least 50%, ink levels can be observed from the side that faces
away from the printer when hooked on.
3.
Once all ink tanks have been filled, check to confirm all rubber plugs have been securely closed.
With all plugs sealed, simply hook the ink tank compartment back onto the right-hand side of the
printer.
4.
Before charging any ink through the lines to the printhead, make sure the waste bottle is
correctly setup. The waste bottle is a stand-alone tank attached to the printer via a tube which
comes pre-connected. Simply remove any tape and the bag the waste bottle is in and place the
waste bottle standing up on the same surface as the printer.
When the bottle fills to about 50%,
it is recommended to empty it to avoid waste ink overflow and tube-clogs.
*Note
: The waste bottle can be placed on the same surface as the printer or lower but is never to
be placed higher or else the ink will not reach the bottle resulting in problems.
