How do I refill the ink tanks?
-
Make sure you have new ink bottles handy and have read the ink safety precautions before you begin.
You can continue to use the product even if one or more ink tanks are not filled all the way. However, to keep your product operating at its best, fill all the ink tanks up to the top line.
Caution:
Wear plastic gloves while refilling the ink tanks to avoid staining your hands.- Place a sheet of paper under the ink tank area in case of spills.
- Turn on your product.
- Make sure the
power light is on, but not flashing. - Unhook the ink tank unit from the product and lay it down.
Note: Do not pull on the ink tubes.
- Open the ink tank unit cover, then remove the cap of the ink tank that you're going to refill.
Note: Make sure the color of the ink tank matches the ink color you want to refill, and only remove the cap from that ink tank. Be careful not to spill any ink.
- Snap off the tip of the bottle cap, but do not dispose of it so you can use it to seal the bottle cap later, if necessary. Then remove the bottle cap and carefully remove the protective seal (avoid touching the ink underneath the seal), then close the bottle cap tightly.
Note: Make sure the color of the ink bottle matches the ink color you want to refill.
Caution:
Close the bottle cap tightly; otherwise, ink may leak. - Refill the ink tank with the correct color ink up to the upper line on the ink tank.
- If any ink remains in the ink bottle after filling the ink tank, place the bottle cap tip securely on the bottle cap and store the ink bottle upright for later use.
- Place the cap securely on the ink tank.
- Repeat the previous steps as necessary for each ink color you need to refill.
- Close the ink tank unit cover.
- Hook the ink tank unit onto the product.
