Press the ink button and as the cartridges move to the left unplug the mains supply from the printer. This allows the printhead to be moved manually. Take out any cartridges and remove the cartridge lid using the supplied screwdriver 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 left 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.) Move the printhead as far to the left of the carriage as possible.
PAGE 4
Move the printhead back to it’s cartridge removal position. Fit cartridges into their respective slots and firmly press them down into place. The tube support (2a) fits on the printer housing 70mm (2¾”) from the edge of the bridge as shown. Remove the backing tape and firmly press the tube support into position. With the printhead pushed to its furthest position on the right, take up any slack in the tubing by pulling it through the tube clamp.
PAGE 5
Remove the backing tape from the tube support (2b) and fit it to the printer housing as shown. Place the small tube clamp on the printer housing on the left as shown and clamp the tubes in place. Plug the printer back into the mains supply and the printhead will move back and forth then perform it’s initial ink charge. The air you may see in the tubes is not significant and will not affect the operation of the system in any way. Your system is ready to go…..
PAGE 6
After the ink charge print out a nozzle check to see if all the colours are printing correctly. If they are, you are set to go. If not, perform a head clean and test the nozzle check again. You should see an improvement on the next nozzle check. If still not perfect you can perform one or two more head cleans (do not overdo this exercise, and avoid the auto nozzle check) until you get a good nozzle check.
PAGE 7
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 8
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. Use the syringe and needle provided.
