Move the cartridges, by hand, from far left to far right. Make sure there is sufficient slack in the tubing so that
the cartridges can reach the far right and far left with out putting excess tension in the tubes. You do not want to have
too much slack in the tubes. It is normal for the tubing to touch the bottom of the printer. Adjust the tube position in the
bracket so the tubes just barely touch the bottom of the printer, and so the carts can reach far left and right with
out the tubes stopping the motion. This is important.
With the new Bridge Bracket, the bottom of the printer chassis and the underside of the tubes must be coated with
silicone lubricant. We have included a cotton pad containing the silicone lubricant. If you do not have this lubricant
pad you can use WD-40 or a Silicone spray lubricant (both available at your local hardware store). Don't spray into the
printer, put it on a cloth or paper towel. Wipe the silicone on the inside metal base or chassis (in the center) and on
the bottom of the ink tubes. When the tubes touch the metal part of the printer, they will slide and not stick.
This is important.
If you do not already have one, install a second bracket on the far right edge of the printer. Clean the right section of
the printer housing with alcohol, then install the second bracket on the right hand edge
of the printer housing so the tubing is in a straight line. Put the tubing into this small bracket (use alcohol on the tubes).
Now you are ready to insert the tubes into the bottles. The position of the bracket opening can be either up or down.
It does not matter.
New Configuration Required
You must have the newer configuration of our CFS cartridge that has the tube clip on the top of the cartridge
as shown in the photo below. If you do not have this configuration, then the new Bridge Bracket will not work
properly.
Move Cartridges to Far Right
When you are satisfied that the installation is complete, slide the cartridges by hand to the far right position until
they can't go any further. Now it is safe to plug the printer power back in and start using the printer.
870/890 Printers
The Bridge Bracket installation for the 870/890 Printers is almost identical. The printer is smaller and the bracket is
smaller. Install the bracket 4 3/8 inch from the right inside edge of the housing as shown in the photo below. Everything
else is the same as above.
