Installation Instructions for the 4000, 7600, 9600
Fill the cartridge to approximately 90% full before installing in printer. Do not fill above the vent hole on the end of the cart.
Remove the plug from the vent hole on the end of the cartridge. Then remove fill plug on the top of the cartridge to fill with ink.
Insert either the funnel or the spout on the Goose-Neck fill bottle, and fill cart with ink. Go slow at first and tilt cart so
air is not trapped at the other end (septum end). Don't fill above the vent hole.
Install the small white Filter Element in the vent hole where the vent plug was previously. Replace the larger fill plug on the
top of the cart.
Use a 10 cc syringe and a bottom fill adapter (MIS-BADP) to prime the cartridge before installing. Insert the bottom fill
adapter into the ink exit on the end of the cart, and draw out about 1 cc of ink. This is to remove any trapped air in the
cart. We do not want any air getting into the printer after that cart is installed.
Ready to print. Install cartridge in printer and print, as you would with an Epson cartridge.
These cartridges were not designed to be repeatedly removed from the printer after installation. Try not to remove the
cartridge unless you have to.
Do not let the cartridge become empty. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. If a cart is empty, the printer will suck in lots of
air and potentially damage the printer. Keep them topped off with ink. If you think the cart is leaking, remove it
and inspect the printer for excess ink.

3000, 7000, 7500 Carts -
These Funnel Fill carts are also clear, but they do not have chips on them. Remove the orange fill plug on the top
of the cartridge to fill with ink. Insert either the funnel or the spout on the Goose-Neck fill bottle, and fill cart
with ink. Go slow at first and tilt cart so air is not trapped at the other end (septum end). Don't fill above the vent
hole. The vent hole is on the end of the cart near the orange plug. Do not cover or block this small vent hole.
Use a 10 cc syringe and a bottom fill adapter (MIS-BADP) to prime the cartridge before installing. Insert the bottom fill
adapter into the ink exit on the end of the cart, and draw out about 1 cc of ink. This is to remove any trapped air in the
cart. We do not want any air getting into the printer after that cart is installed.
There is no mechanical tab to signal the printer that the cartridge is empty. So the printer will not stop printing,
but the monitoring system will warn you it is empty. DO NOT LET THE CARTRIDGE RUN OUT OF INK.
CAUTION: These cartridges were not designed to be removed from the printer after installation.
If removed from the printer, the cartridges may leak ink from the septum. Be certain to drain the ink back into the bottles
immediately, or use some other device to empty the cartridges. If the ink level is below the septum level it should not need to
be drained to prevent further leakage upon removal.

Disabling the Epson Ink Monitoring System on 4000, 7600, 9600
The following procedures will let you disable or enable the ink monitoring system on the printer. With the monitoring system
disabled, you will be able to print continuously, but you MUST NOT LET THE CARTRIDGE RUN EMPTY.
|
| |
|
*Warning*
|
|
The following procedure will disable and enable the ink level indicator on Epson 4000/7600/9600 Wide Format printers.
Disabling the ink level indicator will prevent the printer from being able to recognize an empty cartridge
condition. This could result in air being drawn into the lines and possible damage to the print head. If the
ink level indicator is disabled the user must manually monitor the level of ink in the cartridges to prevent printer damage.
The alternate to using this procedure is to use an MIS SK188 Chip Resetter. However, this
requires removing the cartridge from the printer and re-installing. This repeated "in and out" can limit the life of the cartridge.
