Refilling ink reservoirs
! Use of inks other than those supplied by ENCAD may cause damage to your
printer.
The ink reservoirs are located at the left side of the printer. You can refill any time, even while
printing. Be sure the reservoirs always have ink in them - it is a good idea to keep them approxi-
mately 3/4 full. Allowing a reservoir to run out of ink causes the ink delivery lines to deprime and
may cause ink leakage and damage to the ink cartridges and carriage electronics.

another color.
