Refilling Ink 3-9
Refilling Ink The ink and cleaning solvent reservoirs each have a capacity of
3.5 liters. The refill bottles of ink contain 2 liters, while the
cleaning solvent refill bottles contain 3 liters.
◆ Ink — When the reservoir ink level sensor inside one of the
ink reservoirs detects 1 liter of ink remaining, the corre-
sponding green “ready for refill” LED illuminates. This alerts
the operator that the reservoir can be refilled, and that there
are approximately 400 ml of useable ink remaining. When
the printer detects that approximately 600 milliliters remains
in the reservoir, the control panel will show a profiler status
of 0% (see Fig. 3 on page 2-5). At this point, the reservoir
ink level has fallen close to the point where the ink cannot be
pumped to the printheads.
◆ Cleaning solvent — When the reservoir level sensor detects
250 milliliters of cleaning solvent remaining, its “ready for
refill” LED illuminates. In this case, the control panel dis-
plays a warning, and the printer will not perform a service
station visit or purge until the cleaning solvent is refilled.
Caution
Do not “top off” or refill a reservoir until its LED illu-
minates. Always empty the entire contents of the
refill bottle into the reservoir, and replace the profiler
with the profiler that accompanies the new bottle of
ink. Refilling ink or cleaning solvent in any manner
other than that described above will result in errone-
ous refill indications.
Caution
Use only genuine ColorSpan SolaChrome-HR inks
and cleaning solvent in the printer. Use of any other
inks or cleaning fluids COULD DAMAGE THE
PRINTER, WILL REQUIRE A SERVICE CALL, AND WILL
VOID THE WARRANTY.
1. When the LED over a reservoir illuminates, obtain a refill bot-
tle of the corresponding color of ColorSpan SolaChrome-HR
ink or cleaning solvent.
2. Shake the bottle of ink for one minute to redisperse the
pigments.
It is not necessary to shake the cleaning solvent.
