sticker

1. Remove ink cartridge from printer and protect work surface.

Refilling your cartridge is a clean and simple job, but it is best to cover your work
area with newspaper or other scrap paper to protect from accidental ink spills.

2. Cover ink port hole with sticker.

Before placing the sticker over the hole, make sure that the port hole is wiped dry
to ensure an adequate seal. Holding the cartridge with the ink port hole facing
you, apply one of the small round yellow stickers provided to cover the ink port
hole as shown in Fig. 1.

3. Drill fill hole in top of cartridge.

Turn the cartridge around, so that you are now holding it with the silver label and the
vent hole facing you, as shown in Fig. 2. Using the drilling tool provided, and using a
twisting motion, drill a hole in the center of the top of the cartridge. (See Fig. 3.) With­draw drill bit after drilling the hole.

4. Fill the ink chamber.

Remove the scabbard from the tip of the filling needle. Tilt the ink bottle slowly until it
is in the horizontal position. While keeping the bottle horizontal, place the needle tip in
the refill hole (see Fig. 4) then invert the bottle. Once the bottle is upside
down, lower the needle into the ink chamber as far down as it will go.
Begin gently applying pressure to the bottle, squeezing as the needle is
slowly withdrawn. (See Fig. 5.) Continue dispensing ink until 15 ml or
1/4 of the bottle has been emptied, or until a droplet of ink appears at the
vent hole or fill hole (See Fig. 2), as this indicates the cartridge is full.

5. Remove the refill bottle.

If the refill bottle is not empty, recap it and save for future use. Blot up any residual ink
around the vent hole or fill hole with a tissue.

6. Place sticker over fill hole.

Make sure that the area around the fill hole is wiped dry to ensure an adequate
seal. Use one of the stickers provided to cover the new fill hole on top of the cartridge.
Remove sticker from inkport and then reinstall cartridge. If the sticker is left in
place, the printer will puncture a hole in it when the cartridge is reinstalled.

7. Reinstall the cartridge into the printer.

Perform the printhead cleaning procedure following the instructions outlined in your
printer instruction booklet.

SUBSEQUENT REFILL PROCEDURE:

Follow steps 1 and 2. Instead of drilling hole, remove sticker from fill hole and
continue steps 4 through 7.

In the unlikely event that ink gets on your fingers, it can easily be removed by moistening a paper
towel with a solution of laundry bleach diluted with an equal amount of water. Be sure to wash hands
thoroughly after using bleach solution.
