Check Printer Condition

If you have a brand new printer, follow the Epson instructions for setting up your printer. Use the Epson cartridges

that came with the printer. Follow normal installation instructions for the software. Test the printer by printing

pictures. Learn how to use the Epson utilities to run a Nozzle pattern check and to run a Cleaning Cycle.

If you have been using the printer in the past, just make sure it produces a perfect nozzle pattern before proceeding

with the Eco-Flo installation. If the Nozzle pattern has any gaps whatsoever, then run cleaning cycles until it prints

perfectly.

DO NOT INSTALL THE ECO-FLO IF YOUR PRINTER IS NOT FULLY FUNCTIONAL

Disconnecting Power From the Printer

Push, but do not hold the INK button on the printer. This will move the injectors to the “replacement” position. After

they move to this position, which is just slightly to the left of the parked position, SWITCH OFF THE POWER AT

THE WALL SOCKET. Now the injector head can be moved from side to side by hand. We will tell you later when

to reconnect the printer power supply. Remove the original Epson injectors from the printer (Power is disconnected).

Set them aside on some paper towel. DONOT throw away, you may need them someday. Wrap in a zip-lock plastic

bag for cool dry safe keeping.

Make sure that the printer can produce a perfect nozzle pattern

before proceeding with Eco-Flo installation.

INSTALLATION OF YOUR ECO-FLO KIT

Step 1 Removing the Injector Lid

You will need to remove the printer lid on the injector carrier as shown illustrated from the diagrams below. Store

this somewhere safe should you ever wish to return the printer to its original setup.

The lid is held in place by two ‘Lugs’ on either side, once you have the LEFT side disconnected, the second lug can

ONLY be removed by using a sharp Stanley knife type and scoring the plastic within the head as illustrated in Fig.3.

Please note that the measurement and location of scoring would be inline with the THIRD GROOVE along as

indicated. When you have scored this several times take a fine screw driver as indicated in Fig.4 and very gently

praise the excess plastic piece off. Removing this excess piece will enable you to remove the lid by twisting this

towards you as illustrated in Fig.5.

Step 2 Moving the Printer Head

You are now able to move the printer head manually to the centre area of the printer. See below.

Step 3 Bottle Preparation

Locate the coloured bottle caps and straight lengths of plastic tubes. Insert the straight tube firmly into the bottom of

each bottle cap see Fig.7 below.

Step 4 Tube Preparation

Fig.6

Fig.7

Step 4 Tube Preparation

Using a pair of scissors snip gently at the end of each tube. Please see Fig.8 below.

Strip back all the tubes by approx 150mm. Please note when assembling the tubes to the bottle caps you may need

to strip back more of the tubing in order for the bottles to be seated correctly within the bottle tray.

tubes stripped back

Step 5 Preparation of The Clamps & Inks

You are now ready to attach the tube clamps to the tubes as indicated in Fig.11 below.

Now please fill all the bottles with the correct inks; please ensure that all ink has been filled correctly as indicated by

the bottle caps that are colour coded, see Fig.12 below.

Step 6 Positioning the Ink Bottles in The Tray

You are now ready to position the ink bottles in the bottle holder tray as indicated below on the LEFT hand side on

the same level as the printer.

Step 7 Assembling the Tubing to the Bottle Caps

When you have completed the above process insert the correct tubes to the correct ink bottles. PLEASE TAKE

CARE when doing this as if this is connected incorrectly there is no turning back see Fig.13 & Fig.14

Step 8 Priming the Ink Through the Injectors

You are now ready to start the ink priming process starting with the YELLOW. This process is carried out by

inserting the 10ml syringe and wing adaptor at the base of the injector.

Wing Adaptor

Fig.13 Fig.14

Fig.15

PLEASE ENSURE THAT THE WING ADAPTOR (TIP ONLY) IS GENTLY, BUT MAKES A FIRM SEAL ON THE

BASE OF THE INJECTOR, DO NOT push the tip into the injector as this shall split the base of the injector

see Fig.16.

PLEASE ENSURE that you DOUBLE CHECK that the correct tube is located to the correct ink bottle before

pulling back on the syringe (see Fig.17), you may need assistance by another person for the next stage.

At this point LOCK the tube with the white clamp (see Fig.18) before removing the syringe from the bottom base of

the injector to avoid any air traveling in the injector.

Any ink remaining in the syringe can be put back into the correct ink bottle. MAKE SURE you wash the syringe with

warm water ready for the next colour to be primed. Repeat this process for all the inks so that you finish up with a

set of injectors and tubes full of ink as illustrated in Fig.19.

Step 9 Installing the Chip Block Unit

You are now in a position to remove the Epson cartridges from the printer head, see Fig.20 & Fig.21 below.

Ensure that you hold the Colour chip block as indicated in Fig.22 and do not touch the contacts as this can cause

damage or failure.

Ensure that you locate the CORRECT chip block making sure that the two legs either side are facing down as

indicated in Fig. 22. PLEASE NOTE INSERTING THE CHIP BLOCK INCORRECTLY CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO

THE CONTACTS.

When you have installed the Colour chip block within the printer head you can now position and install the Chip

Support Bar as illustrated over the page.
