2-6-1. Installing Ink Cartridge

There are two cases in mounting Ink Cartridges on the printer.

(1) Initial Ink Loading

When you uncrate the printer, the Filter Cartridges are installed instead of Ink Cartridges, to protect the

needles there. Follow the indication below: load the Maintenance Solution first by following the indications on

the Control Panel of loading the White Ink.

Keep the Filter Cartridges near the printer; they are necessary for the maintenance process of Tube Cleaning,

Print Head replacement and the power on of the printer. (Refer to “4-1-4. Cleaning the Tubes and Print

Heads”, “6-1-38. Replacing the Print Head”, “7-1. Transporting GT-3 Series / Maintenance Required for

Long-term Storage”).

(2) Replacing the Ink Cartridge

The ink indicator on the Display flashes when the Ink Cartridge is getting low. Prepare the new Ink Cartridge

(option*), and replace it when “Empty XXXX (color)” is displayed. （* See "2-1-4. Consumable Requirements

and Options" for part code.)

1. Open the new Ink Cartridge.

<Note>

Pigments in the White Ink are sinking little by little all the time. Hold the cartridge with both hands, upside

down from the mounted position, and shake it in 1-2 minutes so that the pigments inside can be mixed

enough. Do it one by one.

2. Remove the

Filter Cartridges from the slot of the printer. Put your finger to the handle and pull out the Ink

Cartridge.

<Note>

Leave the Filter Cartridges or the used Ink Cartridge installed until just before the replacement. Leaving

your printer with no Ink Cartridge installed may cause ink leakage or other serious damages.
