Refilling Ink

The ink and cleaning solvent reservoirs each have a capacity of

3.5liters. The refill bottles of ink contain 2 liters, while the cleaning solvent refill bottles contain 3 liters.

Ink — When the reservoir ink level sensor inside one of the ink reservoirs detects 1 liter of ink remaining, the corre- sponding green “ready for refill” LED illuminates. This alerts the operator that the reservoir can be refilled, and that there are approximately 400 ml of useable ink remaining. When the printer detects that approximately 600 milliliters remains in the reservoir, the control panel will show a profiler status of 0% (see Fig. 3 on page 2-5). At this point, the reservoir ink level has fallen close to the point where the ink cannot be pumped to the printheads.

Cleaning solvent — When the reservoir level sensor detects 250 milliliters of cleaning solvent remaining, its “ready for refill” LED illuminates. In this case, the control panel dis- plays a warning, and the printer will not perform a service station visit or purge until the cleaning solvent is refilled.

Caution

Do not “top off” or refill a reservoir until its LED illu-

 

minates. Always empty the entire contents of the

 

refill bottle into the reservoir, and replace the profiler

 

with the profiler that accompanies the new bottle of

 

ink. Refilling ink or cleaning solvent in any manner

 

other than that described above will result in errone-

 

ous refill indications.

 

 

 

 

Caution

Use only genuine ColorSpan SolaChrome-HR inks

 

and cleaning solvent in the printer. Use of any other

 

inks or cleaning fluids COULD DAMAGE THE

 

PRINTER, WILL REQUIRE A SERVICE CALL, AND WILL

 

VOID THE WARRANTY.

 

 

1.When the LED over a reservoir illuminates, obtain a refill bot- tle of the corresponding color of ColorSpan SolaChrome-HR ink or cleaning solvent.

2.Shake the bottle of ink for one minute to redisperse the pigments.

It is not necessary to shake the cleaning solvent.
