Orange vent plugs - and filling cartridges

1

On 9900 series cartridges - just to confirm the filling sequence :

Do you need to plug the ink fill hole with the clear rubber plug BEFORE priming ? Or can I :

  • leave clear fill plug off
  • remove orange vent plug
  • prime cart with syringe
  • put ink from priming syringe back into the cart
  • reinsert clear ink fill plug.

What is the purpose of the orange fill plug once it is removed ? Should it be used again when refilling the cartridges ? Or just toss it ?

the orange plug is just for long term out-of-printer storage.

remove it before doing anything with the cartridge.

you can put prime ink back into bottle

Ah ok. The printed instructions don’t say when to put the clear fill cap back on. So the fill hole should be plugged BEFORE priming and should NOT be re-opened after priming (only open for refilling). Correct ?

the point of priming is to remove air. If the fill hole is open air is getting into the system.

So after Filling put the Fill hole back. Then prime
