CONTINUOUS INK SUPPLY SYSTEM INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION FOR
Canon Pro9000 / Mark II printer
Caution:
Always keep the ink reservoirs on the same level as the printer.
To ensure that the ink does not fill the air chamber when refilling your unit, it is imperative that the air filter is
replaced with the travel plug and that both the travel plug and refill plug are not removed at the same time.
Do not remove your old cartridge until you have the CIS system primed and ready to install (to prevent the drying of
heads). In addition, make sure you are getting perfect nozzle checks before installing the CIS system. The CIS system
won’t be able to work properly if the nozzles are previously clogged.
Most people get a perfect nozzle check the first time after installing the continuous Ink Supply system; others may need
to run two or three cleaning cycles and let the printer sit for a while before they get the perfect results.
Installation Procedures
1. Switch the printer off, open the lid, the take out the print head.
2. Install the silicon seals to the printer head; this will close the air gap between the cartridge and print head.
3. Put the print head back to printer.
4. Take the cartridges, keeping the cartridges higher than the ink tank, and then remove all the orange caps from the
cartridges. (Get some paper towel ready in case of leaking)

Place down each cartridge according to the color. Make sure every cartridge in the correct position by press down the
cartridge until you hear the “click” sound for each cartridge.
You can attach one clip in the center of the link, then arrange the tube, please make sure the tubes are not twisted, you
need to leave the lid open after you install the ciss
Here is another way to setup the tubes.
Attach 2 clips on the center of the printer lid and attach the ink tubes on it, please make sure the tubes are not twisted.
The tubes should be placed underneath the printer plastic cover

Place the lid holder on the top of the printer to lift the lid when it closed. This will give enough space for the ink tube to
move. Place make sure the tube is not twisted when you close the lid.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Place the ink reservoir next to the printer, the ink reservoir should be on the same level as the printer
Open the small plugs (air hole) on the top of ink reservoir

Install the air filter to the air hole, the fat end going down.
Fold a piece of paper, insert it to the lid switch hole to touch the sensor , so the printer will think the lid is closed and
ready to print.
Check the printing head. Run Nozzle check.
If it shows breaks, please clean your printing head. It is possible that the wispy air have entered into the printing head. If
it is still showing little breaks especially in one color, there is no need to repeatedly continue to clean. Just keep the
printer silent for about one hour, it will disappear.
If there are still some bubbles in the tube after installing the system correctly, just run head cleaning 1-3 times, (do not
clean over 3 times, because it might cause ink flood on your bottom of printer. If still have some air bubble in the tube,
just wait a few hours, then do the head cleaning again. The bubble will be gone after that.
After the bubble gone, let the printer sit there for a few hours before print anything, the quality will be good by then, if
printing quality is good, please don’t need care about the air bubble in the tube, it will be gone after some printing.
Reset Procedure:
If the indicator light flashes when printing, it tells you that you need to change the cartridges. Please power off the
printer for about 1 minute and turn on again, this time it will show full on the computer. It should then work in good
condition.
Please pay attention to the ink level in the reservoirs; if the ink level is below 1 inch please use refill kits to fill ink into
Reservoir bottles.
Carefully pull out the big rubber plugs from the refill holes. (There is possibility of ink spattering. Be careful!) Refill ink
according to the color in short supply. Then put the rubber back. (Please keep the printer and the reservoir at the same
horizontal line during the process of refilling ink.)
