On the prefilled unit, the cartridges come full. If you ordered a system that is not prefilled please use the vacuum fill kit to fill your cartridges before continuing.
- Page 2 CFS or your printer. So, DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP. Use your Epson cartridges, and check your nozzle pattern, if it looks good, then print 5 copies of the PURGE6.TIF image (found on the disk provided or our web site.) The prints must not have any banding or skipping on them.
- Page 3 chip. Make sure it is seated at the bottom of the cartridge holder. If it is not seated all the way down, the chip may make partial contact causing it to become unusable. Do the same with the black cartridge. Both should now be firmly in place. You don’t want them to be lifted by accident or by the tubes pulling on them.
- Page 4 5. Put a little alcohol on the tubes at the position that will interface with the bracket. For the 1270/1280/1290 printers, do not rotate the tubing. Slide the tubing into the tube clip attached to the underside of the bridge bracket. This is the bracket you installed in step #4.
- Page 5 6. Clean the right section of the printer housing with alcohol, then install the second bracket on the right hand edge of the housing so the tubing is in a straight line. Put the tubing into this small bracket. Now you are ready to insert the tubes into the bottles.
- Page 6 9. Un-web the tubes from the right end beginning at the white plugged ends up to the right hand side of the beige tube clip on the housing, so that each tube can be independently connected to its bottle. The tubes are easily un-webbed by just pulling them apart, no tools are required.
- Page 7 This resets the chips. The actual ink level inside the cartridges is kept full by the CFS unit. The ink level displayed on your screen by the Epson monitoring system is not the true ink level inside the cartridges. It is what the monitoring system and chips are indicating.
- Page 8 It amounts to flushing out the foam by drawing fresh ink out of the bottom of the cartridge. The details of the procedure are described on the CFS troubleshooting page on the website. Keep your original Epson cartridges as they are needed for this procedure. They can be used several times for revalidation of printer performance.
