TO PRESSURIZE THE AP-100/AP-300 PEN CARTRIDGE
1. Remove the plug from the bottom of the ink reservoir and the cap from the
tip of the pen.
2. Pull the syringe plunger back to fill
the plunger tube with air, then insert
the syringe tip into the opening at the
bottom of the ink reservoir.
3. Brace the plunger against a flat, hard
surface. Push the ink reservoir down
toward the plunger so that the air in
the syringe forces the ink into the tube
that connects the reservoir to the pen.
NOTE:NOTE: Lifting the plunger off the surface
before removing the plunger from
the reservoir can cause a loss of
pressure in the pen assembly.
4. With the plunger still braced against
the surface, disconnect the ink
reservoir from the syringe.
The ink will continue to fill the
connecting tube.
5. When the tube is filled, try to write
with the pen tip. This helps ensure a
constant flow of ink to the pen.
If the tube does not fill, or if the pen does not write, repeat the procedure.
NOTE:NOTE: Although unlikely, it is possible that the charge applied in step 3 will not hold. If
this happens, install the pen assembly in the plotter and do several page
advances. The GGT pump system is a closed air system, and advancing the
pages will generate enough pressure to ensure proper operation of the pen.
