For transport or when the printer is to be disconnected
from the power for long periods (from more than 24 h up to
six months), a transport tank has to be inserted. To do so,
proceed as follows:
• Open the door on the left side of the printer and press
the red retaining bracket (1, Fig. 1 ) down and pull the
ink cartridge out (2, Fig. 1 ) approx. 30 mm until the "Ink
Empty" LED lights up.
• Take the red protective cap (3, Fig. 1 ) out of the recess
in the ink cartridge and screw it to the cartridge. Then
remove the ink cartridge.
• Take the transport tank out of the delivery carton, remove
the protective foil and insert the tank until it is about half
way into the cartridge slot ( Fig. 2 ).
• Loosen the red protective cap (85, Fig. 2 ) by one turn,
then push the tank in all the way repeating 2 or 3 times
to break through the seals.
• Push in the transport tank all the way and check that the
red retaining bracket (1, Fig. 1 ) is positioned correctly.
• Unscrew the red protective cap (85, Fig. 2 ) and place it
in the recess provided for the cap in the tank (63, Fig. 2 ).
• Mark one of the two boxes on the front of the tank to
ensure that the transport tank is used only twice.
• Close the door on the left side of the printer.

In the factory condition, a transport tank
is inserted into the printer (refer also to
Chapter 4.9 of the Instructions for Use ). This
must be replaced with an ink cartridge before
starting up the printer (see Standard Deliv-
ery). Also refer to Chapter 4 Instrument Setup
in the Instructions for Use.
The following description explains the different handling of the locking mechanism in relation to exchang-
ing the transport tank or the ink cartridge. The exchange is described in the Chap. "4.9 Exchanging the
cartridge " and " 6.4 Storing the printer ". All other descriptions and tasks in the chapters mentioned remain
unaffected by the different handling.
