6: Refilling Ink Cartridges - “Bulk Ink” System: Cont’d
With the print head carriage cover open, you will see all 8 individual cartridges.
Press the Cartridge clip at the top of the cartridge to release it from being locked
in its place. Then lift the entire cartridge straight up to remove it from the print
head. After removing it, you will be able to remove the cartridge plug to open
the cartridge up and refill ink.
Note: Take care to make sure you put the cartridges back in their correct
positions. The PrismJET DTx uses a dual CMYK ink set but the positions of the
cartridges are specific. The part number printed on the cartridge label should end
in an R or an L. The first cartridge on the left is labeled PRNI-DC-IC20-8131YL-SW.
The “YL” code indicates that it is the yellow cartridge on the left side. The
yellow cartridge on the far right is labeled PRNI-DC-IC20-8131YR-SW. The “YR”
code marks it as the yellow cartridge on the right. These are not interchangeable.
Each cartridge has a specific number on it chip that corresponds to that position.
If they’re loaded in the wrong slots, the ink out light will illuminate indicating
that the cartridge is empty or in the wrong position.

To Refill Cartridges:
Set the cartridge down
on a table with paper
towels to catch any stray
ink. To refill the car-
tridge, you will need a
20cc syringe, a needle,
and a 150ml bottle of the
same color EnduraINK
DTx ink. Confirm that
color of the ink in the
bottle matches that in
the cartridge. Likewise,
if this is not the first time
it’s been used, make sure
the syringe has not been used previously with a different ink type or color. Cross
contamination of ink types or colors during refilling can cause problems with
print quality.
Note: When you remove and refill a cartridge, you may find that it is not com-
pletely empty. This is normal. The printer’ firmware is designed to prevent the
cartridge from being completely drained. An ink cartridge that runs dry can allow
air pockets to develop in the ink delivery system and damage the printer.
