Turn on the printer and press the ink

button. When the printhead has

moved to the cartridge removal

position unplug the mains cable

from the printer.

This allows the printhead to be

manually moved.

Remove the printhead lid. Use the

small screwdriver provided to prise

the hinges open

Remove any cartridges from the

machine.

Remove all the small rubber bungs

from the bottles.

DO NOT THROW THESE AWAY AS

THEY ARE NEEDED FOR REFILLING

THE INK CHAMBERS

Using the long needle attachment

on the 10ml syringe draw any ink

out of the centre chamber through

the small hole.

To replace this ink in the reservoir

see page 8.

Wipe the syringe and repeat this for

all chambers.

Page | 3

Repeat this for each color then fit the

supplied air filters.

Place the bottles to the left of the printer

as shown.

NEVER PLACE THE BOTTLES HIGHER THAN

THIS

Move the printhead as far to the left of the

carriage as possible.

Feed the cartridges under the printer

housing…

…and place the cartridges on the housing

whilst you move the printhead back to the

cartridge removal position.

Page | 4

Place the cartridges into the cartridge

housing and press them down firmly by

spreading fingers across all the cartridges.

Important:

ENSURE THAT EACH CARTRIDGE HAS

CLICKED INTO PLACE.

Remove the backing tape from the sticky

pads on the tube support bracket.

Position the bracket around the printer

button housing, ensuring that the plastic

tab fits into the slot.

Place the tubes into the tube support so

that the tubes are taut and there is no

slack.

Ensure that the tubes are placed all the

way in the support.

Remove the backing tape from the small

support bracket and fit as shown

Page | 5

If you wish to close the printer lid you

will need to attach the lid support

brackets as shown.

Plug in the mains power cable and turn on

your printer.

The printer will go through the initial

head charge before your system is ready

for use.

If the orange ink light is displayed when

the printer is turned on.

Press the ink button to move the

cartridges to the removal position.

Ensure that all the cartridges are firmly

pushed into place and then hold one of

the chip reset button for 5 seconds.

Page | 6

Press the ink button and the printhead

will read the chips and begin the initial

head charge.

Your system is now ready for use.

Print a nozzle check to ensure all heads are printing ok. Read the following section if you do

not have a perfect nozzle check.

Page | 7

See the Installation CD that came with your system for:

1. Profile Installation

2. Epson Driver Configuration

3. Graphic Software Configuration

After the ink charge, print out a nozzle check to see if all the colors are printing correctly.

If they are, you are set to go. If not, perform a head clean and test the nozzle check

again.

If still not perfect you can perform one or two more head cleans (do not overuse this

exercise) until you get a good nozzle check.

Occasionally a printer will stubbornly refuse to print a perfect nozzle check after a couple

of head cleans. There can be a number of reasons for this including the fitting of a dye

sublimation system for the first time or a printer being left for a long period of time

without running any prints.

If you have to run more than a couple of head cleans be careful not to overdo it. Run up

to 5 head cleans but keep checking the nozzles after each one. If the nozzle pattern

improves dramatically but is not perfect leave the printer to sit for at least 1 hour then

check the nozzles again.

Sometimes the nozzle check has improved further still without wasting any more ink

(and trying your patience). If there are only a couple of nozzles missing try a print to see

if this kicks in those last couple.

Further head cleans when the nozzle check is almost perfect can often result in the

whole thing going backwards and the nozzle checks becoming very poor.

REFILLING THE BOTTLES

Remove the air filters and replace the

small rubber bungs (that you did not

throw away).

Remove the large rubber bungs

This sequence prevents the chambers

filling with ink.

Refill the bottle through the large

opening.

REPLACE THE LARGE RUBBER BUNG

FIRST!

Then remove the small bung and replace

the air filter.

If this sequence is not followed and the centre chamber is allowed to fill with ink use the

procedure on page 3 to remove the ink.
