Change Ink Bags

Introduction

The ink is supplied in collapsible bags. An ink bag can be replaced at any time. An ink bag can be changed during a print job. It is not necessary to stop the printer.

About this task

Ink bags should be replaced if:

  • The printer displays an "Error: ink fill timed out" message.

  • The operator sees that the bag is empty.

  • An ink bag is nearly empty and the operator wants to leave the printer unattended during a long print and does not want the ink to run out. The nearly empty bag can be reconnected and used up later when the operator is present.

CAUTION

Use appropriate safety equipment - nitrile gloves and eye protectors. Take precautions to avoid ink on your skin or in your eyes. Be sure to read the section on Safety Guidelines for Ink Materials before handling UV inks. Also, read the SDS sheets available from the Océ Downloads website for more information on ink safety and handling.

Remove the Quick-Release Coupler

Procedure

  1. Open the clear plastic door on the Ink Station.
  2. Identify the ink bag to be replaced.
  3. Press the quick-release coupler button at the bottom corner of the ink bag.
  4. Unhook the bag from the top of the ink station.
  5. Replace with a new ink bag of the same color.
  6. Push the quick-release coupler at the bottom corner of the new bag into place.
    NOTE

    If you place a bag in the wrong ink station (for example, yellow ink in the black ink station) the display will show an error message and the printer will not print until the correct bag is installed.
