Troubleshooting Guide

In order to setup your Continuous Ink Supply System on you Epson R1800 you will need to

follow the instructions carefully.

1. The first step in order to setup your CISS is to follow the ‘Installation instructions for the

Epson R1800 Easy Flow IV’ (see Appendix A).

2. If you have followed the installation instructions carefully and you find that you cannot

print out a perfect nozzle check then please follow the ‘How to Get a Good Nozzle

Check’ instructions carefully (see Appendix B).

3. If still you cannot get a nozzle check follow the ‘Bad Nozzle Check Flow Chart’ (see

Appendix C).

4. If you have followed the ‘Bad Nozzle Check Flow Chart’ instructions without success

then you will need to make sure that the flow of the ink isn’t obscured in anyway. In

order to do this please follow the ‘How to Prime the Ink Cartridges and Check the Flow

of Ink’ instructions (see Appendix F).

Operating conditions are recommended to be within temperature range of 50 – 80 °F
or 10 - 30°C.

This allows the print head to be moved
manually.

Take out any cartridges and remove the
cartridge lid using the supplied screwdriver as

Remove all the small bungs from the bottles.
(Do not throw these away as you will

need these for re-filling the bottles)

Using the long needle attachment on the 10ml
syringe draw any air out of the centre
chamber (through the small hole). Repeat this
on each color then fit the air filters supplied.
