How to Change Ink Bags
Introduction
The ink is supplied in 2 liter or 800 milliliter bags, dependant on the printer model (White ink
comes in 1 liter bags for all models). The bags have a non-spill coupler bonded into the top
corner. When installing onto the printer, the bags are inverted and the quick connect couplers are
pushed into their corresponding female coupling - opening up the flow path for the ink. If a bag of
ink with an invalid serial number, expired use-by date, incorrect color, or expired tag is connected
to the printer, the operator is alerted.
When to do
An ink bag can be replaced at any time. Ink bags should be replaced if:
• The printer displays an "Error: ink fill timed out" message. This does not necessarily mean that
the ink bag is empty, but if you see it, check the level of ink remaining and change the bag if
needed. If you see the message and there is still ink in the bag, place a service call.
• The operator sees that the bag is empty.
• An ink bag is nearly empty and the operator wants to leave the printer unattended during a
long print and does not want the ink to run out. The nearly empty bag can be reconnected and
used up later when the operator is present.
NOTE
An ink bag can be changed during a print job. it is not necessary to stop the printer.
Before you begin
