CAUTION:
Be careful not to lose the O-rings. Initial filling
and printing can not be done if the O-rings are
missing.
CAUTION:
Don’t use a tool to tighten the coupling screws
but get them as tight as possible with your fin-
gers. If you use a tool, there is a risk of breaking
the plastic taps.
« REFERENCE »
Ink tubes have a tendency to bend. Laying
the tubes in the direction of that tendency
prevents the tubes from behaving badly
and jamming.
« REFERENCE »
Couplings have a definite orientation. (See
