into place, it is okay if you do not hear the click. Just be certain they are securely seated
making certain the cartridges are properly aligned and down all the way in the carriage. Clamp
the CFS system in place by locking the gray print head clamp down. Push the cartridge
carriage all the way to the right hand inside of the printer.
12.
Close the printer's lid ensuring the tubes are not pinched between the lid and the housing
(the Bridge Bracket is designed to hold the lid slightly open to prevent this). Plug the printer
back in and turn on the power. Run a few cleaning cycles until you have a perfect nozzle
pattern. The printer is now ready to use. If you have problems getting a perfect nozzle
pattern, let the printer rest overnight, and try again in the morning.
Note: If for any reason you must remove the CFS after installation you MUST replace the
white tube plugs as well as the orange seal caps to prevent the CFS from draining and
creating a mess.
The Care and Feeding of a CFS -
There are a couple of things you should know that will keep your system running trouble free.
Every time the Canon iP4000 CFS system is removed from the printer the prime (ink in the
tubes) will drain back to the bottles. After a few installations and removals the ink in the
cartridge reservoirs will deplete making it necessary to Vacuum Fill the CFS using the
Vacuum Pump Kit CFS-VP.
These systems work best if they are used frequently, daily is best, but every few days is
more important. If you are an infrequent printer or only print once or twice a week, then you
should install our AUTOPRINT program (download it for free from our CFS page). Autoprint
will make a printout using our Purge4 image everyday as long as you leave your computer and
printer turned on.
If you have to do cleaning cycles, do them in groups of 3 and be certain to print something,
we recommend a copy of the Purge4 pattern after every 3 cleaning cycles. The Canon
software will allow you to run cleaning cycles on the color cartridges or black cartridge
individually. If only one of the cartridges is problematic limit the cleaning cycles to include
the fewest number of cartridges possible. If you are still having problems after about 3 or 4
sets of 3 cleanings, then let the printer rest for a few hours or overnight and try again later.
This has worked on many Canon printers in the past. It gives the air bubbles in the ink a
chance to rise to the surface and get out of the printhead.
Don't let your ink bottles get empty. Refill them when they are at the 1/4 full level. Before
pouring new ink into your bottle, transfer the ink that is left into a clean glass or jar. Then
