A few things to remember when filling the ink cartridges and CISS system.
- Find an easy-to-clean place to work when working with ink.
- Most of the refillable cartridges with auto reset chips cannot be mixed with original cartridges; the same situation applies for the non-auto reset chip cartridges.
- Do not use any software and / or chip resetters to reset the chip as it may damage the auto reset chips.
Chip reset:
- If the indicator light is flashing when printing, it suggests that you need to reset the chip to full status. Please turn off your printer for about 30 seconds and switch it back on. Ink meter bar should show full ink status. You can then start printing as usual.
- Do not use any software and or chip resetters to reset the chip as it may damage the auto reset chips.
Nozzle Check:
After setting up, print a nozzle check. If it shows any breaks (it maybe caused by air bubbles in the printing head). Please do a nozzle clean for 1 or 2 times. If it is still showing little breaks, especially for only one color, please turn the printer off. It's unnecessary to repeatedly clean the printer-head. Just keep the printer unused (turned off) for about a few hours and then print the nozzle check again.
Step 1:
- Place the ink system on the right side of the printer.
- Press ink cartridge change button located on the front of the printer or please check your printer manual for the instruction. The cartridges will move to the changing position.
- Unplug the printer so you can easily move the printer head later.

Troubleshooting:
If after installing and turning the printer on, some of the cartridge(s) are not being recognized by the printer, please do the following;
Locate the 8 small red plugs and the side of the cartridge(s) that has two prongs.
- Place the red plugs in between the prongs. Please see pictures on the right.By doing this, the chips will have a better contact with the printer head and will be recognized by the printer.
