2. Pour the inks from each bottles
that they w originally supplied from. Use a piece of scrap fabric to wipe excess ink
from each of the ink tubes as they are removed from each of the ink bottles.

to use a small brush, such as a toothbrush, to scrub each bottle to ensure that it is free of
the old ink).

water. Re-attach the caps/ ink tubes to the ink bottles.
5. Ensure that the waste ink bottle is empty - please check the waste ink bottle regularly
during this procedure.
6. Remove the top blue cover from the printer - there are 3 Philips head screws holding it

tube joiners which loc ar th alves. These joiners are reducing joiners,
allowing the connection of the large ng from the valves to the smaller ink supply
tubing. You need to massage these areas to free up any ink that may have collected near
the joiners.

dry.
