Step 1:
Drill a hole in the cartridge in the location shown below using the small hand drill.
Step 2:
fill the syringe that came with your kit with ink. Insert the needle or syringe into the hole you just drilled. Push it all the way in, then draw back slightly, about 1/8", to prevent the sponge from blocking the needle. It is very important to always keep the needle as deep as possible when inserting.
Step 3:
Inject ink into the cartridge slowly and firmly. Don't over fill. Only inject about 10 cc or 1/3 of a 1 oz bottle. Clean the fill hole and cover it with black electrical tape. Leave the vent on the side uncovered.
Step 4:
If the cartridge leaks, then it has been overfilled. Hold the cartridge over or put it in a paper cup until it stops dripping. Never put a dripping cartridge in your printer.
Step 5:
After refilling your cartridge, you should run a couple of cleaning cycles with your printer to make sure the cartridge is working properly. Create a page of solid black and print this page several times. After this, the cartridge is ready for regular printing tasks.
Trouble Shooting:
If your machine prints in streaks or is missing lines, you should perform the print head cleaning procedure as described in the owner's manual. You can also soak just the print head in very hot water for about five minutes.
