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.

  • If the cover of an ink cartridge does not lock securely, this cartridge needs to be replaced.

    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.

    When removing the ink cartridge, pull it out slowly and carefully, without any force.

  6. Shake the ink cartridge 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.

    IMPORTANT

  7. Insert the ink cartridge.

    Orient the ink cartridge so its protrusion () is face up, and then, while keeping the cartridge level, slowly insert the cartridge as far as it will go.
