When handling ink cartridges, be careful not to get ink into your eyes or on your skin. However,
if this happens, flush immediately with water. Otherwise, your eyes may become inflamed
slightly. If you feel discomfort, consult a doctor immediately.
Do not disassemble ink cartridges. Otherwise, ink may get into your eyes or on your skin.
Do not shake ink cartridges. Doing so may cause ink leakage.
To install the ink cartridges, follow the steps below.
Step 1 :

Switch ON the plotter.

Step 2 :

The plotter initializes.


The operation panel displays "[KCMY] Cartridge".

Insert the ink cartridges in the plotter as follows :

The ink cartridges must be inserted in a specific slot according to the type and colour used.

Notes
The 7142 ink cartridges have been developed in such a way that miss-insertion is not possible. For each
colour, a different design is used, i.e., fins are placed at the outside of each cartridge, at different locations,
depending on the ink colour used.
Result:

The operation panel displays "Ink Refill **min", and the initial ink replenishment starts.

The ink replenishment takes about five minutes. Initial ink replenishment and pause
operation are repeated during initial filling.

Printed lines become blurred.

White lines appear in the prints.

If this is the case, perform a head cleaning, two to three times, as described in the Users Guide, and check
the results. If the quality of the printed image has not improved, even after performing head cleaning, then
leave the plotter unused for more than one hour. After that, perform a head cleaning again and check the
printed image. If the quality still hasnt improved, than contact your local MUTOH dealer.
