DO NOT overll the cartridge. There are hash marks on the front of each cartridge denoting
increments of 50 ml, with the top mark referencing 200 ml. DO NOT add ink beyond this
mark. As a guide, stickers have been afxed to the front of each Ink Cartridge indicating the
RECOMMENDED ink levels of between 50 and 150 ml. Top off the
ink at the start of every shift to keep it as close to the “full” level as
possible.
Prime the cartridge.
2.
The Blazer Series printers include a priming pump
which will prime the ink from the Bulk Ink System
container into the cartridge. There is a knob on the
top that operates the pressure. It is not necessary
to adjust this knob. The process of priming the
cartridges will save a lot of ink by reducing the
number of Power Cleaning Cycles needed in
Chapter 8.
Connect the priming pump to the hole in the
•
bottom of the cartridge.
Secure the hose to the cartridge by pressing
•
in with your thumb.
With your other hand, pump the handle
•
until ink comes through the line and into the
reservoir.
Disconnect the pump from the cartridge and pour the ink collected in the pump reservoir back into
•
the corresponding Bulk Ink System container.
Prepare a glass of warm water. Rinse the pump and reservoir. Pull back the spring lock to open
•
the hose and immerse into the water. Pump using other hand util water has reached the reservoir.
Repeat using fresh water until clean. Note: The darker the ink color is, the more you may have to
rinse.
Re-seat the blue cap in the opening of the newly lled and primed cartridge. Do not tighten
•
completely. Tightening the cap could cause starvation of the ink to the head if the breather caps
should become clogged.
Repeat for remaining colors.
3.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each color until all eight Bulk Ink Cartridges have been lled and primed.
Insert the cartridges into the printer.
4.
There is a blue lever for each set of cartridges. Raise the levers and remove the cleaning cartridges
(save these for later use). The slots and cartridges are numbered from 1-8. Using these numbers as
a guide, place the Bulk Ink cartridges into your printer and lower both blue levers to secure them in
place. The colors CMYK will be placed in slots 1-4, and FastINK Bright White in slots 5-8.
