    Important notes on this procedure

    • Perform cleaning twice. Use one cleaning stick per cleaning session, and then discard the stick after use.
    • Never use any implements other than the included cleaning sticks.
    • Do not put a cleaning stick that has been used for cleaning into the cleaning liquid. Doing so will deteriorate the cleaning liquid.
    • Never rub the nozzle surface of the heads.

  7. Start filling with ink.
    MEMO

    Before inserting ink cartridges, shake each of them 50 times (about 20 seconds).
    The precipitation of the ingredients in the ink disables printing in normal color. So that the ink mixes well, shake the ink cartridge horizontally with a stroke length of around 5 cm (2 in.) from each end of the ink cartridge.

    The ink filling procedure is displayed on the Utility screen.
    Proceed by reading the on-screen instructions. The [POWER] key will flash while filling with ink.
    MEMO

    Please note, you will be asked to remove and re-insert the cleaning cartridge into the same ink cartridge slot several times, before being asked to move the cleaning cartridge to the next ink cartridge color slot. Please make you have the cleaning cartridge inserted into the slot that matches the ink cartridge color slot shown on the computer screen of the BN-20A Utility software program.

    When the message of "The ink tanks have been filled" appears, filling with ink is completed.
