Refilling ink reservoirs

Always keep the reservoirs (on the left side of the printer) filled with ink. You
can refill them at any time, even while printing. If a reservoir runs out of ink,
the ink delivery lines will de-prime and may make the ink leak, and cause
damage to the ink cartridges and the carriage electronics. When refilling ink
reservoirs, take the following precautions:
Have paper towels handy
Wear disposable gloves.
Open only one reservoir at a time to prevent one ink colour from accidentally
mixing with another.
Attention:
damage to your printer.
To fill ink reservoirs
Open the front left printer cover to access the ink reservoirs.
1
Remove the cap from the reservoir you want to fill.
2
Make sure that the ink colour and type in the bottle match those in the reservoir.
3
Pour the ink into the reservoir to approximately 1/2 inch (1.2 cm) from the top.
4
Do not overfill.
Replace the cap on the reservoir and close the panel.
5
Do not over-tighten the cap in order to maintain adequate air
Note:
pressure for correct ink flow to the cartridges.
