Ink and Replenisher Procedures
Changing the ink and replenisher in a 7122 printer consists of the
following procedures:
•Draining fluids
•Changing filters
•Connecting fluid containers
•Connecting waste tanks
•Filling the system.
Before starting any procedure, read “Safety Information” through
completely.

Ink and Replenisher Procedures
Draining Fluids
Draining Fluids
Use the following procedure to drain the ink and replenisher from the
7122 printer:
1. Check that the printer is ready for service (see “Printer Preparation”).
2. Put on gloves and eye protection.
Avoid spilling ink and avoid direct contact with ink.
3. Attach the drain tubing (0101070-090) to one of the quick disconnect
fittings (0101099-202).
4. Open both doors of the fluid cabinet.
5. Plug the second quick-disconnect fitting into the unused quick
disconnect on top of the tank (see Figure 3).
The second quick-disconnect fitting is used as a tank vent. Venting
accelerates the emptying of the tank. If you do not vent it, the tank will
take at least 30 minutes to drain and may not drain completely.
Vent fitting
Note: Which tank is drained first is not significant. Draining the rear (replenisher)
tank first prevents having to reach over any dripped or spilled fluid to
connect the fittings.

Ink and Replenisher Procedures
Draining Fluids
6. Use the external waste tank or any suitable container to receive the
drained ink (see Figure 4).
If another container is used, it must be approved to hold MEK.
7. Put the open end of the drain tube inside the container (see Figure 4).
This ensures that the fluid flow does not spill. Fluid will flow as soon
as the tube is connected to the quick disconnect.
Figure 4Drain container in position
8. Connect the fitting on the long tube to quick disconnect on the bottom
of the tank (see Figure 5).
Warning: Irritant
Avoid prolonged contact with the ink and replenisher. Clean up any spilled fluid.
9. Monitor the fluid as it drains (see Figure 6).
10. Move the vent fitting to the replenisher (cleaner) tank.

Changing Filters
Ink and Replenisher Procedures
Changing Filters
Use the following procedure to change the ink and replenisher (cleaner)
filter assemblies:
1. Unpack the two replacement ink filters (0190794) in kit.
Use either assembly as the replenisher (cleaner) filter assembly; the
two assemblies are identical.
2. Power up the printer with the fluid system bypassed.
3. Enter diagnostics and put the printer in Normal Up State 1.
This state pulls vacuum and prevents bleeding.
4. Put on gloves and eye protection.
Avoid spilling ink and avoid direct contact with ink.
5. Locate the ink and cleaner filter assemblies in the fluid compartment
on either side of the R-cell assembly (see Figure 7).
Either filter assembly can be replaced first.
Note: Fluid lines are omitted from Figure 7 for clarity.
6. Disconnect the two top SWAGLOK fittings on the ink filter housing.
Open the top fittings first to prevent siphoning from the R-Cell and
fluid manifold.
7. Disconnect the top SWAGLOK fitting.
8. Remove the filter housing.
9. Repeat these steps for the cleaner filter.
Disconnecting the bottom fitting will siphon through the fluid left in the
lines to the cleaner tank and the ‘T’ fitting going to the cleaner supply.
10. Install the replacement filter assemblies.
1 1. Continue with either of the following procedures, which is appropriate:
•“Connecting Fluid Containers” if new fluid containers must be
connected.
•“Filling the System” is the proper fluid containers are connected.
