Modifying the Case (not required) In order to get the tube
out of the printer you can either, allow the tubing to drop out
of, the open area and underneath the back of the printer or
widen the screw hole (the one you removed the screw from to
release the waste pad holder). If your printer is out of
warranty, I would recommend widening the hole to benefit
from the extra safety factor this Waste kit provides. The hole
needs to be widened to 4.5mm wide (as indicated in the
image, left)
Install the External Tube Part & Re-connect With the screw
hole widened you should now be able to insert the external
section of the Solo-X tube part and connect it to the internal
part as shown in the two images left and below.
Tubing connected... and an Explanation Now that you
have the tubing all connected you can gently pull the whole
extension back out until the connector joining the two
sections reaches the screw hole. The reason the connector is
there at all is to act as a safety strain relief. It provides a solid
stop point for the tubing so that the inner waste tube
(particularly the printers original waste tube) does not suffer
from an accidental pull, that could damage the whole waste
ink cleaning system. Only the outer tube part will be stretched
or yanked.
Install the Tube Guide The kit also comes with a tube guide
which you can use to ensure the Solo-X tube part does not
hang around or potentially catch in any of the gears exposed
within the Waste Pad area. The guide has two sticky pads
which you remove the backing paper from and then press into
position. It's best to put the guide on the tube, check position,
etc.. before removing the backing paper though. Note: To
ensure a good firm adhesion to the plastic, it's a good idea to
clean the area you intend to attach the guide using something
that doesn't leave a residue behind. Isopropyl Alcohol is best
but even a bit of tissue to remove any oils from your
hands/fingers is better than nothing.
