Digital BW, The Print

Hello,

 Vent plug must be removed while using the carts in the printer, and 
 must be put on the cart just before removing the fill plug.
 Just follow this instruction: 
 http://www.inksupply.com/instructions/r260_slc_refill.pdf
 Note: you need to pull ink (steps 3 and 4) on ly if the cart is brand 
 new or totally empty.

 HOpe this helps

 Sylvain.
