Mixing the Ink by Shaking the Pouch Tray
If ink components precipitate in the ink pouch, colors may be uneven (unevenness in printed colors). If colors are
uneven, remove the pouch trays, and then shake them gently.
So that the ink mixes well, shake the pouch tray horizontally 50 mes (about 20 seconds) with a stroke length of
around 5 cm (2 in.) from each end of the tray.
• Do not remove the ink pouches. Shake the enre pouch tray. Removing the ink pouches may lead to the ink
leaking.
• Before shaking, wipe o any ink from around the mouth of the ink pouch. If you do not wipe o the ink, it may
splaer when you shake the pouch tray.
• When you have nished mixing the ink, reinsert the pouch tray immediately. Taking me to reaach the ink
cartridge will adversely aect the ink path.
If uneven color issues are not resolved even aer shaking the pouch trays to mix the ink, perform "damper clean-
ing" or "super cleaning."
