Identify the Waste Pad Holder The waste pad in a PX700 is
located above the metal plate you can see in the base of the
printer (left).
Remove Retaining Screw & Release Clip/Tab To release
the waste pad holder, you need to remove the screw
(indicated left)... ..then gently push in the retaining tab using a
flat head screwdriver.
Note: Don't push in too far or hard as the tab is fragile and
can easily snap off. The location of the tab, and the hole to
access it, is shown in the picture (indicated left/below)
Normally the waste pad holder will drop down once the
retaining tab has released but if it needs any additional
encouragement, gently prise the holder down, as shown in
the image left. The holder should then drop down as shown in
the second image (left, below)
Release the Waste Tube As you remove the pad holder you
will normally find the tube pulls itself out of the grey plastic
box retainer that holds the open end in position. If not, gently
pull it out yourself. Tip: The correct end of the tube is the end
connected to the waste pads.
The Solo-X Tube Part (quick intro') The Solo-X tube part
consists of two sections A shorter internal section with two
tube connectors A longer external section with an open end,
clamp and green connector to hook it up to the waste tank.
You will need to take the two sections apart, ensuring the
shorter internal piece retains both the tube connectors.
Solo-X Internal tube section As noted above, the internal
tube section has two connectors, one at either end. It is
important to note that one connector is slightly larger than the
other. The larger sized connector will join with the printers
own waste tube The smaller sized connector will join with the
external Solo-X tubing section
(Note: don't join them yet - you'll see why later)
Connect Solo-X Inner Tube Section With Printer Waste
Tube Having identified the correct end to use, join the inner
tube section with the printers own waste tube as shown in the
two images left and below.
