Press the yellow button and as the cartridges moves to the left unplug the mains supply from the printer. This allows the printhead to be manually moved. Take out any cartridges and remove the Black cartridge lid as shown. Remove all the small bungs from the bottles. (do not throw these away as you will need these for re-filling the bottles) Using the long needle attachment on the 10 ml syringe draw any ink out of the centre chamber (through the small hole).
PAGE 3
Place the bottles to the right of the printer as shown. NEVER PLACE THE BOTTLES HIGHER THAN THIS (If the bottles are placed higher then the ink may siphon into the bottom of the printer.) Make sure there are no twists in the tubing. Place cartridge unit into printer and push down lid firmly. The tube support will be fixed 225mm (8 ? ”) from the edge of the printer housing as shown. Remove the tape from the sticky pads and firmly press the tube support into place.

Remove the backing tape from the black clamp on the tubes and fit it to the tube support as shown. Remove the backing tape and firmly press the small tube clamp in place as shown. With the printhead position as far left as possible check that the tubing is not too tight or slack. Move the printhead as far to the right as possible and also check the tubing.
PAGE 5
Fit the excess tube into the small tube clamp so it does not interfere with the printheads movements and fit the air filters into the small hole on the bottles (arrowed) Plug the printer back into the mains supply and the printhead will move back and forth then perform it’s initial ink charge. During this ink charge you should see the ink flowing through the tubes near the connectors. The air you may see in the tubes is not significant and will not affect the operation of the system in any way.
PAGE 6
Re-filling the bottles Remove the air filter and replace it with the small rubber bung (that you did not throw away). Remove the large rubber bung. This prevents the centre chamber filling up with ink. Fill the chamber through the large opening. Replace the large rubber bung first! Then remove the small bung and replace the air filter. If this sequence is not followed and the centre chamber is allowed to fill with ink use the procedure to remove the ink as shown at the bottom of page 2.
PAGE 7
Re-priming a system that air has been allowed to infiltrate. If ink is allowed to fall below the recommended minimum levels on the bottles it may be possible for air to get into the tubing and ultimately into the cartridge. This will prevent the printer working (colours completely missing on nozzle checks). This is completely different to the tiny amount of air in the tube during first install and the air needs to be removed to re-prime the system.
