3-14 Installing Ink for the First Time in a New Printer
7. Referring to the Color Map card, place an ink reservoir into its
numbered position (1 through 12) in the ink tray.
Be sure to insert the profiler into its port in the ink tray.
Work with the ink reservoir, tube, and printhead that corre-
spond to one position at a time. This will help prevent cross-
connecting components.
8. Referring to the Color Map card, affix the labels showing the
ink color and ink type onto the connectors of the ink supply
tube (see Fig. 3-3 on page 3-5).
9. Open one of the carriage covers to expose the printhead
slots.
Release the cover by pressing its latch at the front of the
carriage.
10. Insert the needle end of the drain tube into the nozzle end of
the supply tube that is located in the printhead slot in the
carriage assembly (see Fig. 3-9).
This will allow air to escape from the supply tube.
11. Connect the ink supply tube into its corresponding fitting on
the ink reservoir.
The ink will begin to flow from the reservoir toward the ink
bottle. The ink will displace the air in the tube, filling it
with ink. To ensure that the drain tube needle does not slip
out of the ink tube, hold the drain tube needle in place dur-
ing the fill process.
