4) Preparing your ink reservoirs
a) Carefully remove the small travel plugs on the CISS, leaving the filler plug in
place.
b) Attach the long needle to your syringe. Place the syringe diagonally into the air
balance chamber and gently draw back on the syringe. This will remove any
excess ink from the chamber. The chamber does not have to be completely
empty for the CISS to function correctly. The procedure helps reduces the air
pressure drawing back from the cartridges and can prevent air developing in
the ink feeder tubes. The excess ink can be discarded or replaced into the
reservoir via the filler plug. Please refer to refilling instruction page 23 .
Never have the filler plug removed at the same time as the travel plug. The air
balance chamber has a hole in the base linking it to the main ink reservoir.
Having both plugs removed at the same time will re-fill the air balance chamber
with ink.
