Filling The Ink Reservoirs - ENCAD 212528-05 Quick Start Manual

NovaJet 500/630/700 Series Printer Quick Start Guide

Filling the ink reservoirs

The printer can support long, uninterrupted printing runs because of the large
capacity of each of the four ink reservoirs. The ink reservoirs are located in the
printer's left side cover.
Note: On the NovaJet 700, do not add more than 300ml of ink or fill higher than
1 inch from top of the reservoir when running at carriage speeds faster than 5.
The NovaJet 750 reservoirs can be filled to the top.
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.
Note: The left side of the NovaJet 750 will look different than the following
illustration. The NovaJet 750 has eight reservoirs in an open bay. The left four
reservoirs are attached to the grey lines. The bay under each of the left four
reservoirs is numbered 4, 3, 2, 1: 4 = Yellow (Y), 3 = Magenta (M), 2 = Cyan
(C), 1 = Black (K).

To fill the ink reservoirs
1 Open the cover on the left side of the printer to access the ink
reservoirs. 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., VX, GS PLUS, GX,
or GO) in all the reservoirs and ink cartridges. Be sure there is no
excess ink on the inside of the reservoir cap. Replace the cap
loosely on the reservoir - do not overtighten.
3 Your printer 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. To change reservoirs, simply
snap into the appropriate fittings.
4 Repeat for the remaining reservoirs, then close the cover.
