6. Initial Ink Induction Procedure

6-6. Ink Induction

If the power supply is turned off, turn it on and then move the print head carriage to the cleaning position.
Since ink has not yet been supplied to the printer, a “No Ink” alarm will sound after several minutes have elapsed. This alarm does not indicate a malfunction, and no action is required.

1. Pour ink into the ink tanks.
   Pour a generous amount of ink into each ink tank. Make sure that the ink color matches the color code label on each of the tanks.

2. Feed the ink to the sub tanks.
   From the main menu, select [Ink Status] and then press the ENTER key.
   The “No Ink” alarm sounds and then stops, and the ink pump operate to feed the ink to the sub tanks.
   If the “No Ink” alarm sounds once again, from the main menu, select [Ink Status] and then press the ENTER key once more.
   The alarm will stop sounding when the four sub tanks (C, M, Y, K) are filled with ink.
   At this time there will be no operating noise from the ink pump.
3. Visually check that the sub tanks are sufficiently filled with ink.
   The tanks should be filled up to approximately the level indicated by the white line.
4. Set the levers of the 3-way valves for each ink tank to the ink supply position.

5. Feed ink through the outlet tubes.
   Perform the following procedure for both outlet tubes on each of the print heads.

   1. Remove the outlet tube cap.

   2. Position the open end of the outlet tube so that it is facing the waste liquid slot.
