Filling the ink reservoirs
The printer can support long, uninterrupted printing runs because of the large
capacity of each of the eight ink reservoirs. The ink reservoirs are located on
the left side of the printer.
Note: Refill reservoirs when the ink level is approximately 50ml or 1/4 inch from
the bottom. Allowing ink levels to drop lower increases the risk of getting air in
the ink lines and losing pressure.
To fill the ink reservoirs
1
Unscrew and remove the cap of one reservoir. Open only one
reservoir at a time to prevent contamination with other ink colors.
2
Make sure the ink color and type matches the reservoir and pour in
the ink. Be sure to use the same type of ink (i.e., EI Lightfast Plus
Dye or EI Pigmented) in all the reservoirs and ink cartridges.
3
The left cartridge bank comes standard with two complete sets of
plumbing for easy changeover between two ink sets. Each of these
lines has color coded quick connect fittings. Be sure that each
reservoir is connected to the same color fitting as its
corresponding cartridge. To change reservoirs, simply snap into
the appropriate fittings.
4
Repeat for the remaining reservoirs.
Inspecting the ink cartridges
Note: Visually inspect each cartridge before installing. Make sure the
blue tape is intact on the jet area of the cartridge. (Do not remove the
tape at this time! The tape will be removed later.) Inspect the IC
chip on the cartridge. Make sure it is secure and in approximately the
location shown on the following figure. If any cartridge is damaged,
contact an authorized dealer for return/replacement of the defective
cartridge.
