* Open the top large printer cover

* Then the smaller cap on the right above the ink tanks and prepare the ink bottles.

Before unpacking the ink bottles, shake them - according to the instructions 15 times within 5 seconds, when shaking you will feel that the ink no longer overflows in the bottle.
Unpack and prepare the bottles



Flip the blue lever above the cartridge up - you can start from the left of the black and at the same time unscrew the plastic cap from the black ink bottle  
 

Turn the bottle downwards ( it is sealed, nothing will leak from it ) and insert it ORIENTED ( ie the wings longitudinally ) into the slot of the black cartridge ( see picture ) .... ink gradually starts to flow out of the bottle. If the ink does not flow, you can try to extend / retract the bottle or "very gently" turn it right / left in the inserted state.
Never squeeze the bottle - the ink will leak out by itself

Fill the container to the top line ( marked in red ), then remove the bottle, close the lid well and store the rest for further refilling ( store the bottles upright in a darker place - out of UV range )

Close the cartridge lever and repeat the entire process for all colors - each color of ink in the same color-coded cartridge


Finally, close the color cartridge cover and the printer cover

AFTER FILLING THE INK,  KEEP THE PRINTER ONLY IN THE HORIZONTAL POSITION

Before making print quality settings, load sublimation paper in the printer to print control images
 
A4 paper

For A4 format, you have a front tray in which you can load 150 papers (adjust the plastic guides inside this tray to this size, max. Paper thickness is 0.12 mm)
.
Install the sublimation paper with the print (whiter) side DOWN

If you make a mistake and install the paper upside down - nothing happens - only after printing on the wrong side is the printed image noticeably less contrasty (subli paper / Epson DSA4).

If you use Texprint / SubliPrime paper, the back of the paper is clearly marked with a logo

Epson recommends genuine paper for this printer

Epson DS / A4

Print Quality - Maintenance



After refilling with ink, you are asked to make print quality settings, press Adust 

Print Head Nozzle Check

Press print and the printer will print a control image - on the paper you will have printed oblique lines in individual colors and your task is to check that all lines have been printed completely without any interruption (see fig.) .... which means that all nozzles are clean and all colors print correctly.


If everything is OK, press the wheel

If over time you feel that the images are either too red / blue ... please always start with this check. If the line of an individual color is broken, the printer does not print this color completely (this color or shade will be missing in the picture) - you will then clean the nozzles, see the maintenance chapter


 

MAINTENANCE


MAINTENANCE is in the main menu 

PRINT HEAD NOZZLE CHECK
If any colors are missing from the image, check the nozzles. If there are broken lines in the control image - do :

PRINT HEAD CLEANING
The nozzles are cleaned and the control image is printed again

POWER CLEANING  ***
Perform power cleaning ( flushing the nozzles ) with more ink if normal nozzle cleaning does not help


PRINT HEAD ALLIGNMENT 
Print head alignment (already described above)

HORIOZONTAL - if you have blurred text or lines
VERTICAL  - if horizontal streaks appear on the printout


***




Clean the nozzles ONLY when really needed. Cleaning is performed with ink flowing into the waste ink collector ( Maintenance Box ).
Excessive cleaning leads to the premature need to replace this unit

Maintenance bBx S13S210125C is located at the back, see Fig

If your ink collector becomes full, it must be replaced  .
You can allways check current capacity of the collection unit,
please open print driver

Printer handling

If you fill the ink tanks - make sure the printer is ALWAYS at horizontal position when the printer is moved / transported, otherwise the ink may contaminate the inside of the printer.           .
