Installation Instructions: Epson 1400 CFS
Epson 1400 with MIS CFS Installed *A perfect print with OEM cartridges is a must*
Prerequisite
Before starting this installation, you MUST test your printer to make sure it is printing
100% correctly. The best way to do this is to first print a Nozzle pattern, using the
printer utility software provided by Epson. Once a perfect nozzle pattern is achieved,
print 5 copies of the MIS
purge6.tif
image using the Plain Paper and 360 dpi settings on
the printer. All 5 pages must print without banding or skipping (white spaces). If your
printer cannot do this, do not install the CFS. Run no more than 3 cleaning cycles or get
new cartridges. Do not proceed until you can pass these tests. The Purge6 image can be
found on the diskette included with your system. If you have a Mac you can download it
from our website. You can also get it from the Helpdesk Download Library.

Tools needed
Tools & Materials Needed –
•MIS CFS System, ink, and a working Epson 1400 printer
•Ruler or measuring tape
•Pair of scissors
•Alcohol and some paper towels
•Flat tip screw driver
•OEM Cartridges (For testing printer)
•Some paper to print on
Step 1
If you purchased your system prefilled, go to Step 2. If you purchased an empty CFS unit,
then vacuum fill the cartridges with the ink that came with the system or the ink of your
choice. Follow the instructions that are included with the vacuum pump, go to the pages
near the end of this document. When this is complete, go to Step 2.
Step 2
On the printer, push the Ink button to move the cartridges to the eplacement position.
Ink Replacement Button
While in this position, pull the power plug out of the wall. Next, remove the cartridges.
The cartridges ride in a black cartridge carriage and are secured by a gray cover that
must be raised in order to remove the cartridges.

Unplug printer from wall
Step 3
The cartridge cover also needs to be removed. This is the gray colored cover that holds
the cartridges down when they are installed in the printer.
First, locate the cartridge cover retaining clip, it is located on top of the printer carriage.
INSTALLATION NOTE -. Attempts to remove this cover may result in damage to the
cover. The absence of this cover does NOT prevent normal operation of the printer in any
way.
Cartridge cover clip
Next, carefully pry the clip forward so that it will unlock from the printer carriage and
release the carriage cover.
Gently pry clip forward to remove
When the clip releases it can be removed. Please note that due to the design of this clip
it may be damaged during removal thus making it impossible to reinstall the carriage cover
in the future. If your clip does get damages the printer will still operate normally.

With the cartridge cover retaining clip removed you can easily remove the carriage cover
exposing the OEM cartridges that are installed in the printer.
Remove cover and store in a safe place
Note: We recommend storing the cover and clip that were
removed in Step 3 in a zip lock storage bag so that they do not
become separated and lost.
Step 4
Remove the OEM cartridges from the printer and store them in a zip lock bag. It is best
to save these cartridges so that they can be used for diagnostic purposes or if the
printer must be sent in for service.
Remove OEM cartridges
Step 5
The next step is to mark the location of the 1400 Bridge Bracket. This bracket must be
accurately located for proper system operation and to avoid complications.

Measure 6 1/2” from the back edge, left side, of the larger two openings in the top of the
printer housing. Using a marker or pencil place a line across the center divider between
the two access holes. This is the location of the top of the 1400 Bridge Bracket.
Place mark 6 1/2” from the back of the larger opening
Close up of measurement
After marking the location of the back edge of the clip, the 1400 bridge bracket can be
installed. When installing the bracket, be sure to line up the left most edge of the clip
with the mark that you have just made. Note that the bent part of the bracket should be
toward the front of the printer.
Install 1400 Bridge Bracket using the mark to locate the left edge
Step 6
The next step is to mark the location of the Beige Clip. This clip will be installed in line to
the right of the 1400 bridge bracket.

Mark location for Beige Clip
Install the clip with the open side facing the back of the printer and the hinge toward the
front of the printer housing. The back of the clip should be 1 ½” from the rear grove in
the housing and the right side of the clip should be touching the groove in the housing.
Finally, check that the Beige Clip and 1400 Tube Clip are in line (parallel with the front and
back of the printer openings) with a straight edge or ruler.
Verify 1400 Tube Clip and Beige Clip are in line
Step 7
Move the cartridge carriage to the opening in the center of the printer housing by pushing
it from the right.
Move carriage with hand over to the left most access hole (center of printer)

Note: Before continuing, check that each CFS cartridge has a chip, as cartridges
without a chip can damage the printer.
Install the CFS cartridge through the left opening in the printer housing. As the
cartridges are installed, listen for a click to ensure that they are properly seated.
Install CFS cartridges
Using your hand, push the carriage all of the way to the left side of the printer. This will
help in positioning the tubes into the clips that were installed in Steps 5 and 6.
Step 8
Ensure that the 1400 Tube Guide and Beige Clips are open and that the carriage is pushed
all of the way to the left inside the printer. Guide the tubes through the 1400 Tube Clip
and Beige Clip. You will want to make sure that the tubes do not twist or bend as this will
confuse the color order and interfere with proper bottle connection. Note that the cyan
tube is to the front with the black toward the back of the printer.

Guide the tubing through the clips so that is does not twist or flip
First, route the tubing into the 1400 Tube Clip so that there is not any slack on the left
side of the clip, but not tight enough so as to stretch the tubing. Close the 1400 Tube
Clip. Next, route tubing into Beige Clip so that the tubing does not sag between the 1400
Tube Clip and the Beige. Finally, Close the Beige Clip.
Test for proper tube position by moving the carriage from left to right and back. If at
any point the tubing becomes tangled or there is any drag on the carriage you will need to
move the carriage back to the left and repeat Step 8.
Proper tube installation
Step 9
Now that the CFS is installed in the printer, and proper tube position has been verified we
can un web the tubing to the right of the beige clip. To un web the tubing, grasp two

individual tubes that are next to each other and peal apart. Once you have completed un
webbing verify that the tubing is in the correct order. Front to back, (C, M, Lm, Lc, Y, K).
Unweb the tubing by pealing each tube apart up to the Beige Clip, then verify color order
Next, install the caps with fittings onto the ink bottles supplied with your CFS. If these
caps were installed during Step 1 (filling an empty CFS) then they will already be installed.
Install the caps with fittings onto full bottles of ink
Using the Velcro dots provided, install the bottles in correct ink order below.
Bottle order front to back (C, M, Lm, Lc, Y, K)

Place the bottles on the right side of the printer in the order shown above
Before trimming each tube and connecting them to the fittings on the bottles, double
check that your bottles and tubes are in the proper color order.
Recheck proper tube color of tubes coming as they come out of the Beige Clip
The tube lengths will need to be trimmed so that the tube will connect to the fitting on
top of the bottle without having a large amount of slack. The best way to accomplish this
is to pull the tube over next to the bottle and mark the tube with a ball point pen at the
point where the tube and the bottom of the bottle cap meet.
Set up the bottles as shown, and work with one tube at a time, starting with the magenta
tube. Test the length of this tube by placing it near the bottle, on the outside, and see if
it is going to reach the bottom of the bottle cap. It should not be too short. If it looks
like it is going to be too long, then mark the tube with a ball point pen at the spot you
think it should be cut.
Remove the white plug from the end of the tube and cut the tube with scissors where you
placed the mark. After cutting the tube immediately connect it to the bottle. SAVE
THE WHITE PLUGS as they will be needed if you ever remove the CFS System from your
printer.
Make sure the correct color tube goes onto the correct color ink bottle. A mistake here
will ruin the whole system and you will need to purchase an empty cartridge set w/ tubes.
