Instruction Manual For Canon Printers IP3000, IP4000, IP5000, MP760, MP780, I860 & I865 -100ml Series Congratulations on your purchase of a RIHAC Continuous Ink Supply System (CISS). Before using the system please read this manual carefully. It will help you install the system correctly and ensure trouble free printing. Great care is taken to prepare your CISS for trouble free installation.
b) After performing a head clean you must then perform Print Check Pattern. The computer will automatically ask you this, however if it does not, simply choose to perform a ‘Nozzle Check’ on the printer maintenance screen. Your printer will print either of the following; A or B If your printer has produced a perfect result (A), please attach a copy of the nozzle check to your purchase receipt as this will validate your warranty. You can now start to install your CISS.
2) Preparing your new CISS for installation Please ensure the following are present with your CISS. (1) Air filters x5 (2) Silicone nozzle seal x 5 (3) Cable ties (spare) 6 1 2 5 (4) Double sided tape tabs (spare) (5) Syringe and needle (6) Spare elbow joints and connections 3 4 b) Remove your CISS from the box and check the there are no leakages or cracks and that the silicone tubing is not damaged. c) Inspect the silicone tubing for air pockets.
a) Carefully remove the small travel plugs on the CISS, leaving the filler plug in place. Travel Plug Filler Plug b) Using the syringe, remove any excess ink from the inner air balance chamber. The chamber does not have to be completely empty for the CISS to function correctly. Removing excess ink simply helps reduces the air pressure drawing back from the cartridges and can assist in preventing air to develop in the ink feeder tubes.
c) Place the CISS unit on the right hand side of your printer and Insert all the air filters into the top of each air balance chamber. The larger end should be inserted into the air balance chamber. THE FOLLOWING STEPS ARE VERY IMPORTANT FOR ALL CANON PRINTERS. 2) Inserting the silicone nozzle seals. a) Remove the printer head from your printer by lifting the print head arm lock. The print head will then lift out from the printer. b) Remove the 5 silicone seals from your kit.
d) Carefully place each silicone nozzle seal into position around each of the printer heads as shown. Incorrectly placed silicone seals can cause poor printing quality. Please ensure that the silicone seals do not move from position when inserting the cartridges. These seals must not cover the silver printer head. 3) Inserting the cartridges Canon printers have an inherent design fault which has been overcome by the new Canon printer series such as the IP5200.
b) Remove the orange cartridge cover from each of your new cartridges. This is done by slowly moving the clip in an anticlockwise direction. Beware that during transit ink may build up in this cap and will release when the cover is removed. (i) (i) (ii) c) Insert the new cartridges into your printer. Please ensure that the cartridges are placed in the correct coloured cartridge holder.
b) Adjustments to the tube length may be required. To check this, move the cartridge holder left and right to each end of the printer. It should reach both ends with ease. Check that the tubing is neither too long nor too short. The tubing should not interfere with the printer data wire nor should it fall down into the paper support. c) If required, adjust the tube length by gently pulling the silicon tubing in the direction required.
e) Release the tube clamp on the front of the CISS by rolling it up. Release the tube clamp by rolling the roller up. f) Reinsert power cable to the rear of your printer and perform a head clean and nozzle check as per steps 1)1)a) and 1)b) on page 4. Please note that this may need to be performed several times to ensure excess air is removed from the lines. g) Congratulations you have now successfully installed your new RIHAC Continuous Ink Supply.
3) Refilling your CISS a) Do not allow the ink levels to fall below the refill line. To refill each ink simply remove the air filters and replace the travel plugs (to prevent the air balance chambers filling with ink) for the colour in which you are refilling. Refill Line b) Remove the filler plug and carefully pour or syringe the correct coloured ink into the appropriate ink reservoir. Please ensure to double check the colour with the sticker located on the bottle and the top of the tank.
4) Priming a) Only prime your CISS if excess air (5cm or more) is present in the tubing. It is recommended that priming is conducted in a suitable workspace. Please ensure to wear gloves & have some tissues handy to soak up excess ink before undertaking any priming. b) Remove the CISS from the box and place it on a suitable work area with the cartridges upside down. Remove the cover from the cartridge you are priming by twisting it anticlockwise.
e) Draw air into the syringe (DO NOT ATTACH A NEEDLE) then place it in the hole left by the removed travel plug. f) Push down very slowly on the syringe, pushing air into the reservoir.. It is very important that you push down very slowly (use the gauge on the side of the syringe and do not push down more than 1cm at a time). The ink reservoir becomes pressurized as you push air into it.
5) Trouble shooting a) Leaking Ink If your CISS appears to be leaking from the cartridges, please ensure that you do not have it placed higher then the printer level. The CISS works on a vacuum and if raised gravity will take over and flood you printer. b) Poor Print Quality Not enough ink! i) If you are finding that colours seem to be missing or are printing poorly please ensure that you have placed the air valves into the travel plug holes as per page 8 section 1)c).
d) Flashing Printer Lights If both lights are flashing on the top of your printer it will generally indicate that your printer waste pad is full. Canon printers are programmed to perform a maximum number of prints prior to requiring a service which normally involves returning your printer to a Canon dealer to perform a reset. To override this issue please perform the following steps 1. Turn off printer 2. Hold down Resume button and press Power button. 3.
