You can refill ink easily without the risk of spilling ink.
On the operator panel tap on the [Inks] icon on the right. You see an overview of the ink bottles and levels of remaining ink:
When the area surrounding the ink bottle is light-blue with the ink level indication halfway the tank, you can refill ink for that color.
When the operator panel gives an orange warning, it is advised to refill ink for a specific color as the ink is running out.

The LED lights located next to the bottles indicate when you can refill ink for a specific color.
