Routine Maintenance

Prepare the replacement tank.

(1) Remove the new ink tank from its packaging, 

then pull the orange tape in the direction of the 
arrow (A) so that the protective film does not 
remain on the air hole (B). Then remove the 
film completely (C).

(2) Remove the orange protective cap from the 

bottom of the ink tank.
Discard the cap once it is removed.

Make sure that all the orange tape has been peeled off 

along the perforation. If part of the orange tape is 

remaining, ink may leak out when you remove the 

protective cap and may not eject properly when 

printing.

z

Be sure to remove the clear film from the ink tank in 

the exact order shown in step 4-(1), as failure to 

follow this step may cause the ink to leak and stain 

your clothes and hands.

z

Do not squeeze the side of ink tanks as this may 

cause the ink to leak out and stain your clothes and 

hands.

z

Do not re-attach the protective cap once you have 

removed it. Discard it according to the local laws 

and regulations regarding disposal of consumables.

z

Do not touch the open ink port once the protective 

cap is removed, as this may prevent the ink from 

being ejected properly. 

z

Be careful not to stain your clothes and hands with 

ink on the removed protective cap.
