When filling more than one color of ink, be sure to thoroughly wipe any excess
ink from the cartridge primer before working with the next color to avoid the
possibility of contamination.
To install tube needle assemblies and prime the delivery
lines:
1 Snap the tube needle assembly connector into the fitting on the
carrier. Insert the needle into the small hole on the cartridge primer.
There are two connectors for each cartridge - one is blue and the
other is gray. Be sure that the tube needle assembly is plugged into
the same color connector as the ink reservoir.
2 Press the button on the cartridge primer to activate the vacuum and
draw ink from the reservoir into the needle.
3 When ink is visible in the cartridge primer sight tube (should take 5-
10 seconds), remove the cartridge needle and quickly insert it into
the hole in the top of the ink cartridge. Be sure the needle is tightly
connected by turning the fitting clockwise until it is finger-tight.
4 Gently tighten the fitting (about 1/4 turn) to prevent air leaks. Do not
overtighten the fitting. Wait 20 seconds for the ink pressure to
stabilize.
