4)Preparing your ink reservoirs

a)Carefully remove the small travel plugs on the CISS, leaving the filler plug in place.

b)Using the syringe, remove any excess ink from the inner air balance chamber. The chamber does not have to be completely empty for the CISS to function correctly. Removing excess ink simply helps reduces the air pressure drawing back from the cartridges and can assist in preventing air to develop in the ink feeder tubes. The excess ink can be discarded or replaced into the reservoir via the filler plug. Please refer to refilling instruction page 22 .

Never have the filler plug removed at the same time as the travel plug. The air balance chamber has a hole in the base linking it to the main ink reservoir. Having both plugs removed at the same time will re-fill the air balance chamber with ink.
