Use the funnels provided with the printer to fill the cartridge with its respective ink. Fill up slowly with ink. There is no MIN or MAXIMUM mark on the cartridge. Ensure that the cartridge is always filled with ink.
After filling up with ink, put the rubber seal (ink plug) back to its place. Make sure that the air supply rubber seal is not inserted.
Use the syringe to purge air out of the cartridge. Flip the cartridge and pull with the syringe while on the side. Don’t draw from the bottom or the top side.
The air purge has to be done only at the first time at the installation. Use the syringe with the adapter to purge air out of the cartridge. Draw on the syringe until the air chamber is filled with ink.
Reset all cartridges with the chip resetter. See in the section chip resetting procedure.

Chip Resetting Procedure

There is a chip resetter for resetting the cartridges. The level of each cartridge will drop. You can reset the cartridge with the chip resetter anytime you want. It is very important to reset all the cartridges during the first installation.

Open up the cover. Take out the cartridge or cartridges that you want to reset
