External
Use the following procedure to connect an external ink supply to the
DP5122 printer:
Note: Replenisher must be supplied from the standard, 1.5 liter internal
container (only ink is typically used in sufficient volume to justify an
external supply).
1. Locate the fluid bottle connection inside the ink compartment (see
Figure 3.4).
2. Connect the supply line quick-disconnect to the fluid bottle connector.
For more information on external ink supply options, contact technical
support (see "Scope").
Note: The standard external supply line (0183648) is 20-ft (6 m) and 1/4-inch (6
mm) diameter. Lines up to 30-ft (9 m) and 3/8-inch (10 mm) diameter can
be used.
3. Attach the nozzle to the external supply container.
a. Use a standard nozzle for the 20.0 l (5.3 gal) cubitainer (see
Figure 3.5). The standard nozzles are 1/4-inch (0118739) and 3/
8-inch (0118740).

b. For a 55-gal (208 l) drum, or other non-standard container, an
adapter is required (see Figure 3.6).
4. Connect the ink supply line to the nozzle.
5. Route the line into the fluid compartment and position it so that the
line runs out through the notch in the door.
6. Close the door and check the lines for pinching and kinking.
