 compaq ink refill instructions

Refill Instructions

1. Enlarge the filling hole on the top of the cartridge using the thumb drill provided. (Do not remove the top).

2. Fill the syringe with 12-25 cc of black ink, insert the filling needle into the filling hole and push all the way into the center of the cartridge.  Slowly inject up to 25 ml. of ink until the reservoir is full.

3. Replace the cartridge and run 1 - 3 cleaning cycles as per printer instructions.
Or print the following pages:
www.my10s.com/black.htm for Black
For best results, leave cartridge in printer for 8 hours after refilling so the ink can saturate the entire sponge. (Allows ink to flow to the print head).

Note: Empty cartridges should be refilled immediately.

 

To Clean the Printhead

  1. Only clean the printhead if you get poor print quality or no print.
  2. Be sure that you don't have an air bubble problem.
    • If cleaning the printhead causes the situation to get worse rather than improve, you probably have an air bubble problem.
    • If you have an air bubble problem, you need to re-inject some ink very deep into the cartridge.
  3. Follow the directions in the printer manual to run the cleaning routine.
  4. If this doesn't work, take the cartridge to the nearest hot water faucet.
    • Turn on the hot water. Let it get hot.
    • Put only the printhead portion (where the ink comes out) under the hot water for 2 to 3 seconds
    • Dry off the cartridge using a soft tissue.
    • Re-insert the cartridge into the printer.
    • Run the normal cleaning routine a few times.
  5. If this doesn't work, soak only the printhead in simmering water for up to 2 hours. You may add up to 50 percent ammonia for really tough clogs.

A Refill Kit should include Ink plus the following:
1 Syringe for Black.
1 Thumb Drill
