REPLACING AN INK BOTTLE
CAUTION: Do not pull on the pipes in the cap, when replacing the ink bottle.
It is possible to fit either a 1 or 2 litre ink bottle.
If fitted, the beacon will flash to indicate that the
ink bottle needs replacing.
(1) If installing the printer for the first time,
there may be a piece of protective tubing
over the ends of the probes. Pull off this
piece of tubing carefully - the probes
are very sharp. Check that both O-ring
seals are present around the supply stems,
otherwise air and ink leaks may occur.
(2) Discard the transit cap from the new ink
bottle and place the bottle into the front of
the unit.
(3) Push the air and ink probes into the correct
holes in the ink bottle, puncturing the
seals.
Note: The probes have different diameters which
must be aligned correctly with the holes in
the bottle, otherwise damage can occur if
the cap is forced.
(4) Press the centre of the probe assembly
firmly to ensure that both probes have
pierced the seals.
(5) Tighten the bottle cap (hand tight only).
Arrange the air and ink tubes so that they
cannot be trapped in the door mechanism.
