How to Change Ink Bags

Introduction
The ink is supplied in 2 liter or 800 milliliter bags, dependant on the printer
model (White ink comes in 1 liter bags for all models). 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 - 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
