Ink refill instructions for Canon
PG-40 BLACK..... #40
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Place cartridge on some paper towels by the sink where you can tolerate a spill.
( Be careful as to NOT let the printhead touch the paper towel as
the paper towel will soak up the ink from inside the cartridge.)
Figure 1 >>>>
2. Using just a simple paperclip, heat the end well and place it down
thru the dimple just below the "B". Go easy as the plastic is very
thin.
(See figure 1)
3. Fill the syringe with 15 ml. of black ink.
4. Push needle through the hole all the way in / down. You will feel a slight
resistance. It is the sponge inside the cartridge which is normal.
5. Very S-L-O-W-L-Y inject ink into hole.
Should take about 15 seconds to inject the 15ml of ink.
6. Watch for any ink coming up from where the needle is.
If you see some, it means one of two things:
6a) Cartridge is full
6b) Injecting ink to fast....slow down.
7. When finished, put a small piece of tape over......
(JUST THE SMALL HOLE YOU DRILLED )
8. Replace the cartridge and run 1 - 3 cleaning cycles as per printer instructions.
CHECK FOR LEAKS.... NEVER PLACE A “LEAKING” CARTRIDGE INTO PRINTER
Note: Each time the cartridge is removed from the printer an "empty cartridge" message appears and a blinking
amber light will come on, on the printer. Holding the paper feed button down for 3-5 sec. will allow you to override
the counter.
