How to Change Ink Bags

Introduction
The CMYKcm ink is supplied in 2 or 3 liter or bags, dependant on the printer model (White ink
comes in 2 liter bags). The bags have a non-spill coupler bonded into the top corner. When
installing onto the printer, the bags are inverted and the quick connect couplers are pushed into
their corresponding female coupling thus opening up the flow path for the ink. If a bag of ink with
an invalid serial number, expired use-by date, incorrect color, or expired tag is connected to the
printer, the operator is alerted.
When to do
An ink bag can be replaced at any time. Ink bags should be replaced if:
• The printer displays an "Error: ink fill timed out" message. This does not necessarily mean that
the ink bag is empty, but if you see it, check the level of ink remaining and change the bag if
needed. If you see the message and there is still ink in the bag, place a service call.
• The operator sees that the bag is empty.
• An ink bag is nearly empty and the operator wants to leave the printer unattended during a
long print and does not want the ink to run out. The nearly empty bag can be reconnected and
used up later when the operator is present.
NOTE
An ink bag can be changed during a print job. It is not necessary to stop the printer.
Before you begin
Safety Information - Use appropriate safety equipment - nitrile gloves and eye protectors. Take
precautions to avoid ink on your skin or in your eyes.
CAUTION
Be sure to read the section on Safety Guidelines for Ink Materials before handling UV inks. Also,
read the MSDS sheets available from the Customer Support web site for more detailed
information on ink safety and handling.
