Remove the cap from Ademco’s No. 8111 Ink Cartridge.
Insert the ink cartridge into the inkwell.
Using a pair of diagonal cutters or a knife, cut an air entrance into
the top of the ink cartridge.
Allow the ink to drain into the inkwell. This will require approxi-
mately 5 minutes. It will take an additional I5 minutes at room temper-
ature for the ink to be absorbed by the inking roller. During this time,
do not open the print assembly to change the paper or turn the print
assembly upside down, as this action will cause the ink to spill out
from the reservoir.
Push the solenoid plunger down approximately 25 to 50 times to re-ink
the ribbon.
