Ink Replacement Method
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.
- 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.
- Never insert or remove ink cartridges with undue force. Ink may leak.
Never reuse 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 cartridge. Such an ink cartridge is in a state where drawing ink from it is impossible, so using it in such a state may force air into the ink path and cause malfunctions.
-
Pull out from the machine the ink cartridge of the color to replace.
-
Gently shake the new ink cartridge.
- White ink: Shake the ink cartridge 100 times (for approximately 40 seconds) horizontally with a stroke length of 5 cm (1.97 in.) from each end of the cartridge.
- CMYK ink: Shake the ink cartridge 50 times (for approximately 20 seconds) horizontally with a stroke length of 5 cm (1.97 in.) from each end of the cartridge.
-
Load the ink cartridge in its ink slot.
Orient the cartridge so its protrusion (A) is face up, and then, while keeping the cartridge level, insert the cartridge as far as it will go.
IMPORTANT-
Do not insert an empty ink cartridge into the ink slot. Doing so may force air into the ink path and cause printer malfunctions.
-
Check the color names indicated on the ink slots and the ink cartridges to load these cartridges in their correct positions.
