Precautions regarding ink pouch replacement
  • Be sure to replace each pouch with an item of identical type and color.
  • Never use an ink pouch that has already been used in another machine even if it is an identical type.
  • Never mix different types of items.
  • Never leave the machine with an ink cartridge removed. The print heads may become clogged.
  • Do not remove or insert ink cartridges during printing, cleaning, or ink circulation. Ink may leak.

    For information about purchasing ink cartridges, contact your authorized dealer or visit our website (https://www.rolanddg.com/).

IMPORTANT

Never reuse an ink pouch within an ink cartridge for which the machine shows a sign indicating no ink.

Occasionally the machine will show a sign indicating no ink even if there is a small amount of ink remaining in the pouch, but nevertheless do not use it. Such an ink pouch is in a state where drawing ink from it is impossible. Using it in such a state may force air into the ink path and cause printer malfunctions.

Procedure
  1. Pull out from the machine the ink cartridge of the color to replace.
