their translucent cover.
2Fill ink tanks
Note: This product requires careful handling of ink. If ink spills, wipe
it off immediately with a damp towel to avoid permanent stains. If ink
gets on your clothes or belongings, it may not come off.
Warning: Keep the ink bottles out of the reach of children and do not
drink the ink.

and slowly turn the bottle cap to remove it.
Caution: Do not shake or squeeze the ink bottles. Do not touch
the top of the ink bottle after its cap is removed.
3 Position the top of the ink bottle along the slot in front of
the filling port, then slowly stand the bottle up to insert it.
Note: Refer to the color-coded sticker on the ink tank unit to
identify the color of each tank. Do not force the bottles into
position; they are keyed for each color.
4 Wait for the ink to fill the tank. Do not squeeze the bottle.
Ink flows into the tank and stops automatically when the
ink is filled to the upper line.
Note: If ink does not flow from the bottle, lift and reinsert the
bottle.
