chamber is to hold the ink and the rear chamber is to control the flowing pressure. It is important that the rear chamber
contains only a small amount of inks(as little as possible). The ink should reside in the front chamber. Make sure the ink
tank plugs are tightly closed, tilt the ink tank forward to make the majority of the ink flow into the front chamber if the
rear chamber has some excess ink. (Fig. 2-1 through Fig. 2-3).
d. Place the CIS on the right hand side of the printer as shown (Fig.2-4), and keep it at the same level as the printer.
e. Hold down the ink tank with one hand and unplug the original air stoppers as shown (Fig.2-5), make sure to save
these for later use.
f. Install the Air Breather wider part into the ink reservoir tank, making a snug fit (Fig.2-6).
Caution: Make sure not to push the breathers too tight as it could crack the tank. Also when removing the air breathers
from the tank use caution to avoid cracking.
