INSTALLATION

To remove the QD plug, push the locking plate to
the right. The plug will then disconnect and can be
easily pulled free.
The tip of the QD plug contains a spring-loaded
valve which will automatically seal when removed
from the socket. A drip of ink might leak out before
the valve closes, but this is normal. Take care not to
press the tip of the plug against any object, as ink will
then escape under pressure.
Priming the System
On initial installation, and whenever the ink bottle is replaced, air will be trapped
in the ink supply tube. In order to remove this air, the system will need to be
primed.
If the ink supply tube is connected to the print head, disconnect it as shown on the
previous page. Turn the printer on - this will activate the air pump. The air pump
remains on whenever there is power to the system.
A large container, not required for any other
purpose, will be required to catch expelled ink.
Press the tip of the QD plug against an internal
surface of the container. Ink and air will escape into
the container. Once all the air has been expelled,
release the plug, sealing the ink line, and connect it
to the print head.
A purge will now need to be performed. This is
explained on the following page.
Note: Discard any expelled ink in accordance with local waste disposal legislation. Do not
attempt to re-use old printer ink.
Purging the Print Head
Priming the system expels trapped air from the ink supply tube. Purging the print
head continues this process, expelling trapped air and particles from the ink feed
system inside the print head itself. A purge may need to be performed whenever
changing ink bottles or when changing from ink to flushing fluid or vice versa.
