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.
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
Wear gloves when contact with ink or maintenance materials is possible. Gloves should always overlap sleeves. Follow the ink related Safety Data Sheets (SDS) guidelines carefully in order to ensure maximum safety. For example use Ansell Microflex 93-260 gloves, which offer a protection against UV inks and flush up to one hour. Pollution with other chemicals can shorten the protection time against UV inks and flush.
Wear eye protection as prescribed in this document when performing a task or action in this area.
CAUTION
UV inks and flush liquids can be harmful if not properly handled. Follow always the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) guidelines carefully in order to ensure maximum safety.
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.
