Turn the bottle upside-down and check
that ink does not leak.
• If the mouth of the bottle is fitted with a seal, cut
this open using a craft knife. Be careful not to drop
the seal into the bottle.
• Wipe off any ink or maintenance liquid remaining
on the ink bottle or special cap.Otherwise there is
a risk of ink leakage due to the special cap
spinning.
• Check to confirm that there is no foreign matter,
such as paper towel scraps or dust,adhering to the
special cap. Continuing to use it when it is dirty
may result in foreignmatter blocking the ink path,
causing ink leakage.
• Do not overtighten the special cap. Disregarding
this precaution may result in damage,idling or ink
leakage. If the arrow moves beyond the above
range, loosen the special cap,and repeat the steps
again.
• Do not leave ink bottles with special caps fitted for
extended periods. Disregarding this precaution
may result in the ink hardening.
• Do not leave an ink bottle with the specialized cap
attached in a location where it is exposed to light
for a long period of time. Doing so can result in the
ink in the bottle curing (hardening).
