HOW TO PLACE THE INK TANK ASSY WHEN DISASSEMBLING/REASSEMBLING
The Ink Supply Tank Assy of this printer has an air release hole on the upper part.
The ink in the ink tanks is vented to the atmosphere through this hole to stabilize ink supply to the Printhead. If
the Ink Supply Tank Assy is tilted, the ink in the tanks may leak from the air release hole. If the air release hole is
sealed up with the leaked ink, ventilation to the atmosphere cannot be done properly and the print quality may be
affected adversely.
In order to prevent this from happening, make sure to place the Ink Supply Tank Assy as shown below after
removing it.

Do not place the Ink Supply Tank Assy with the air release hole down or to one of the sides. Otherwise, the ink in the Ink Supply
Tank Assy may come up to the hole and may leak or the print failure may occur.
