1.
The
filler holes are located under the green or blue top. The
green or blue top must be removed before refilling by carefully prying it off with a thin
metal blade, such as a penknife. Alternatively lay the cartridge on its side, hold down
firmly, and strike the green top with a blunt instrument to break its seal.
2. Insert the filling needle into the filler hole of the
color to be refilled, (see diagram above or insert a toothpick and withdraw it
to be sure ) and push downwards until the filling needle reaches the
center of the cartridge. Note: The cartridge contains a sponge and a slight resistance may
be felt.
Important: When you take off the
color cartridge cap will notice that the sponge is white. Do not change the sponge
color. Fill the individual colors until the color just begins to show in the white
sponge.
3. Slowly
inject up to 7ml. of ink until
the sponge is saturated.
4. After refilling the top can be refitted and secured
with adhesive tape.
5. Set above a paper towel for an hour as a drip precaution. Expect a
few drips. Do not allow the paper towel to touch the bottom of the cartridge, as it will
draw out all of the ink. Remove any large hanging drops immediately.
6. Replace the cartridge and run 1 - 3 cleaning cycles as
per printer instructions.
Or print the following pages:

For best results, leave cartridge in printer for 8 hours after refilling so the ink can saturate the entire sponge. (Allows ink to flow to the
print head).
Note: Empty cartridges should be refilled immediately.
To Clean the Printhead
- Only clean the printhead if you get poor print quality or no print.
- Be sure that you don't have an air bubble problem.
- If cleaning the printhead causes the situation to get worse rather than improve, you
probably have an air bubble problem.
- If you have an air bubble problem, you need to re-inject some ink very deep into the
cartridge.
- Follow the directions in the printer manual to run the cleaning routine.
- If this doesn't work, take the cartridge to the nearest hot water faucet.
- Turn on the hot water. Let it get hot.
- Put only the printhead portion (where the ink comes out) under the hot water for 2 to 3 seconds
- Dry off the cartridge using a soft tissue.
- Re-insert the cartridge into the printer.
- Run the normal cleaning routine a few times.
- If this doesn't work, soak only the printhead in simmering water for up to 2 hours. You
may add up to 50 percent ammonia for really tough clogs.
