Ink Pouch Replacement

WARNING
Never store ink, cleaning liquid, or discharged fluid in any of the following locations.
  • Any location exposed to open flame
  • Any location where high temperature may occur
  • Near bleach or any other such oxidizing agent or explosive material
  • Any location within the reach of children

Fire may be a danger. Accidental ingestion by children may pose a health hazard.

IMPORTANT
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 a pouch tray removed. The print heads may become clogged.
  • Do not insert or remove pouch trays unless necessary. Ink may leak.
  • Take care not to drop ink pouches.
IMPORTANT

Never reuse an ink pouch when 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. Remove the pouch tray for the color that you will replace.

  4. Gently shake the new ink pouch.
    During storage, the ink components may have precipitated. When replacing an ink pouch, hold both ends of the pouch tray and shake 50 times (for around 20 seconds) horizontally with a stroke length of around 5 cm to ensure the ink mixes well.


  5. Set the pouch tray in the ink slot.
    Insert the pouch tray as far as it will go.
