Ink Tank Refill Instructions
- If the ink level is below the lowest warning line, stop printing and refill the ink tank.
- Open the small cap of the ink bottle.
- Open the ink cartridge cover and align the ink bottle nozzle with the ink inlet. Fill the ink between the minimum and maximum level indicators.
- Remove the ink bottle after filling, then close the ink cartridge cover, ink cap, and printer top cover.
- Refill the ink whenever it falls below the minimum level.
- Store the product in a cool place away from direct sunlight.
- Use the product within its service period for best print quality. Recommended operating temperature is between 5°C and 35°C.
- If ink gets into your eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water. If it comes into contact with skin, wipe it off with a tissue.
- Keep the product out of reach of children.
Ink in the cartridge, but not printing
- The cartridge may show as empty or produce faded print despite ink remaining.
- Printing stops once the cartridge reaches around 30% remaining ink, which is kept as a reserve.
- This reserve cannot be accessed and is used to keep the internal sponge moist and protect the printhead.
- This is normal behaviour and not a fault.
- The cartridge will need to be replaced.
Colour mixing
- Check that the ink colour in the ink tank matches the printer’s labelled ink tank.
White line
- Run the cleaning operation up to three times.
Broken line
- Check if the paper tray is flat.
- Check if the printer requires maintenance.
