Filling the ink cartridges
The printer is designed to use only ENCAD 104 jet cartridges. Using other
cartridges will cause the printer to beep and prevent it from printing.
Installation of new ink cartridges involves filling the ink cartridges, connecting the
cartridge to the quick connect fitting and priming the jet plate with the NovaPrime.
Each refill kit contains a 20 ml container of ink (squeeze bottle) which is enough
to fill the cartridge approximately half full and is the proper amount for correct
function of the ink system.
Note: You should fill, connect, and prime one color at a time. Fill all
cartridges and reservoirs only with TX ink.
Note: Visually inspect each cartridge before filling it. Make sure the blue
tape is intact on the jet area of the cartridge. Do not remove tape at this
time! 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, use one of your spare cartridges in its place and contact your
authorized ENCAD distributor/dealer for return/replacement of the
defective cartridge.
