NOTES PRIOR TO REFILLING: Once a cartridge has been depleted, a secondary set of cartridges is required to complete the refill process. When an error message informs you that the ink has run out, simply insert the second set of fully refilled cartridges into the printer. You may do this back and forth between the first and second set every time the ink is depleted. Alternatively, if you only have a single cartridge set and the ink has yet to be depleted, you can refill the cartridge, access the service menu – press the back button on your printer up to 5 times – and reset the printer.

1. Before beginning, ensure that the cartridge is refilled on top of a paper towel on a solid, easy-to-clean surface.

2. Match your cartridge to the following photo

3. Use the included eyelet hook to thread a hole into the transparent ball on any of the locations with a green check mark. Using a plier or a small rod/wire threaded through the eye, pull out the plastic ball.

4. Insert the recommended amount of ink into the cartridge according to the above mentioned ink volume.

5. Re-insert the plastic ball into place, and Allow the cartridge to rest for a few minutes on top of the paper towel. It is normal for the cartridge to drip slightly.

6. Load the cartridge back into the printer. It is normal if the ink levels do not reset to full, as the printer will still allow you to print

7. Once the cartridge is depleted, repeat steps 1-6 with the first set of cartridges, and so on.
