Canon Printers  
IP4200, IP5200, MP800, MP830 – 100ml Series  
Congratulations on your purchase of a rihac tm Continuous Ink Supply System (CISS).  
Before using the system please read this manual carefully. It will help you install the  
system correctly and ensure trouble free printing.  
Great care is taken to prepare your CISS for trouble free installation. Your CISS has  
been primed (Australian customers only) and should be ready for immediate  
installation into your printer.  
Please be aware that some of the pictures in this manual may not represent the  
printer you are working with. Throughout the installation process please feel free to  
contact us or refer to our website, www.rihac.com.au for any troubleshooting and  
frequently asked questions. If you are installing this unit into an MP500 or MP530 you  
will require an additional instruction sheet with specific details for those printers  
1)  
Printer pre-check.  
Before opening your CISS, please perform the following print tests to ensure your  
printer heads are in good condition.  
a) Perform a printer head clean.  
For Windows XP users, this is done by accessing your printer properties  
through the start menu on the bottom left of your screen and choosing the  
control panel. Select the printers and faxes option and locate your printer.  
Right click your mouse button on the printer icon and choose Properties from  
the menu, then select the Maintenance tab. Click on the cleaning icon which  
will be similar to the one pictured below. Choose to perform a head clean on All  
Colours and then execute the clean.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
b) After performing a head clean you must then perform Print Check Pattern.  
The computer will automatically ask you this, however if it does not, simply  
choose to perform a ‘Nozzle Check’ on the printer maintenance screen.  
Your printer will print either of the following;  
A
or  
B
If your printer has produced a perfect result (A), please attach a copy of the  
nozzle check to your purchase receipt as this will validate your warranty. You  
can now start to install your CISS.  
If your printer has printed with missing lines or uneven colouring (B) please  
repeat steps 1.a and b. If your second print is similar to the first, you more then  
likely have damaged printer heads and you will need them replaced before  
successfully installing a CISS.

(5) Syringe and filling needle  
(6) Spare elbow joints and connections  
(7) Single spacer clips (for use on MP500/530 only)  
b) Remove your CISS from the box and check the there are no leakages or  
cracks and that the silicone tubing is not damaged.  
c) Inspect the silicone tubing for air pockets.  
If you have an excessive amount  
(5cm or more) of air in the tubing,  
you will need to prime the unit.  
Please refer to page 24 of this  
installation manual.  
This will prevent any problems with  
your print quality further down the  
track.  
d) Close the tube clamp located on the side of the CISS by rolling the roller down.  
This will squeeze the silicone tubing which will prevent ink flow.  
Engage the tube  
clamp by rolling  
the roller down  
If you do not close this valve,  
ink will flow back into the  
reservoir from your  
cartridges.

Attaching Cartridge Chips – un chipped CISS unit only  
If you have purchased a pre chipped system please proceed to section 4) on page 10  
Your original cartridge chips must be transferred onto the CISS cartridges. Please  
follow the following steps carefully  
a) Turn on your printer and open the cover. The cartridge holder will move to the  
cartridge change position. Remove power cable from the back of your printer.  
Remove the cartridges from the printer.  
b) Using a Stanley knife or sharp blade remove the two plastic lugs which hold the  
chip in place. The chips are colour specific so ensure you do not mix them  
up as they will not work if they are attached incorrectly  
c) Gently lift the chip from the cartridge. Never pry off the chip particularly from  
the top of the chip as you may damage the sensitive electronics on the rear of  
the chip.

e) Place the chip onto the corresponding coloured CISS cartridge, ensuring that  
the small plastic lugs are inserting into the chip holes. Use a soldering iron  
gently melt the plastic lugs to hold the chip in place.  
f) Repeat stepsb) & e) for each of the cartridges on your CISS  
Alternatively you can fit the cartridge chips using thin double sided tape although  
the preferred method is with a soldering iron.  
If attaching the chip with double sided tape, please cut the tape and attach it to the  
rear of the chip as pictured below. DO NOT COVER ATTACHMENT HOLES OR  
LED.

Preparing your ink reservoirs  
a) Carefully remove the small travel plugs on the CISS, leaving the filler plug in  
place.  
Travel  
Plug  
Filler  
Plug  
b) Using the syringe, remove any excess ink from the inner air balance chamber.  
The chamber does not have to be completely empty for the CISS to function  
correctly. Removing excess ink simply helps reduces the air pressure drawing  
back from the cartridges and can assist in preventing air to develop in the ink  
feeder tubes. The excess ink can be discarded or replaced into the reservoir  
via the filler plug. Please refer to refilling instruction page 22 .  
Air  
Balance  
Chamber  
Never have the filler plug removed at the same time as the travel plug. The air  
balance chamber has a hole in the base linking it to the main ink reservoir.  
Having both plugs removed at the same time will re-fill the air balance chamber  
with ink.

THE FOLLOWING STEPS ARE VERY IMPORTANT FOR ALL CANON PRINTERS.  
5)  
Inserting the silicone nozzle seals.  
a) Remove the printer head from your printer by lifting the print head lock arm.  
The print head will then lift out  
b) Remove the 5 silicone seals from your kit. During manufacture 2 seals may  
stick together giving the appearance of a single seal.  
c) Ensure each seal is clean by placing each seal onto the small pieces of double  
sided tape provided. Please ensure both sides of the seal are cleaned. Use the  
tweezers provided to remove each seal from the tape ensuring no dust, dirt or  
oils are passed onto it from your hands.  
d) Carefully place each silicone nozzle seal into position around each of the  
printer heads as shown.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
e) Incorrectly placed silicone seals can cause poor printing quality. Please  
ensure that the silicone seals do not move from position when inserting the  
cartridges. These seals must not cover the silver printer head.  
f) Reinsert the print head (with silicone seals now fitted) back into the printer  
6)  
Inserting the cartridges  
a) Remove the orange cartridge cover from each of your new cartridges. This is  
done by slowly moving the clip in an anticlockwise direction. Beware that  
during transit ink may build up in this cap and will release when the cover is  
removed, so have a tissue or similar handy to absorb the excess ink.  
b) If installing you CISS onto an MP530 printer please proceed to section 10)  
on page 19 of this manual.  
c) For all other printers, insert the new cartridges into your printer as a group.  
Please ensure that the cartridges are placed in the correct coloured cartridge  
holder. Gently push down on the cartridges to click them into place

10) Tube set up (MP530 only)  
a) Feed the cartridges into the printer through the scanner lid swing arm (as  
depicted below) and click the cartridges in place as per the IP4200 Manual  
section 6 ‘inserting the cartridges’.  
Swing arm  
b) Attach a raiser clip to the printer (using double sided tape) as show in the  
following photographs. The metal tube arm is then attached to the clip also  
using the double sided tape. The design of the MP530 does not allow you to fit  
the metal tube arm to the printer body without using the raiser clip. The  
positioning of the metal tubing holder is very important as if it is not in the  
correct spot the lid of the scanner will not close.  
The raiser clip is angled to  
compensate for the downward  
angle of the printer moulding  
Ensure when attaching the raiser  
clip that it is attached so that when  
the metal tube arm is fitted it lays  
flat and not on an angle.

f) Adjustments to the tube length may be required. To check this, move the  
cartridge holder left and right to each end of the printer. It should reach both  
ends with ease. Check that the tubing is neither too long nor too short. The  
tubing must not interfere with the printer data wire nor should it fall down into  
the paper support or cause any interference to the head movement.  
g) If required, adjust the tube length by gently pulling the silicone tubing in the  
direction required. DON’T HAVE THE TUBING FITTED TOO TIGHTLY.  
h) As the scanner lid is being held ajar by an extra centimetre it may be necessary  
to activate the lid sensor switch. Cut a small piece of Styrofoam (around 1cm2)  
from the CISS packaging. Use the foam to push down and activate the lid  
sensor located at the right hand corner of the printer as pictured below.  
Please refer to section 11) Finishing Touches on 22 to complete

12) Refilling your CISS  
a) Do not allow the ink levels to fall below the refill line. To refill each ink simply  
remove the air filters and replace the travel plugs (to prevent the air balance  
chambers filling with ink) for the colour in which you are refilling.  
Refill Line  
b) Remove the filler plug and carefully pour or syringe the correct coloured ink into  
the appropriate ink reservoir. Please ensure to double check the colour with  
the sticker located on the bottle and the top of the tank.  
c) Replace the filler plug once filled. Remove the small travel plug replacing it  
with the air filter.  
DO NOT REFILL YOUR SYSTEM WITH CHEAP QUALITY IMPORT INKS!  
Quality refill inks can be purchased directly from Rihac  
at 157 Union Road, Ascot Vale, Vic 3032 Phone 03 9005 5555 or online at  
Caution  
To ensure ink does not fill the air chamber when refilling your unit, it is  
imperative that the air filter is replaced with the travel plug.  
Do not have both the travel plug and refill plug removed at the same time.

13)  
Priming  
a) Only prime your CISS if excess air (5cm or more) is present in the tubing. It is  
recommended that priming is conducted in a suitable workspace. Please  
ensure to wear gloves & have some tissues handy to soak up excess ink  
before undertaking any priming.  
b) Remove the CISS from the box and place it on a suitable work area with the  
cartridges upside down. Remove the cover from the cartridge you are priming  
by twisting it anticlockwise.  
c) Release the roller clamp by rolling it up – This step is very important!  
Release the  
tube clamp by

e) Draw air into the syringe (DO NOT ATTACH A NEEDLE) then place it in the  
hole left by the removed travel plug.  
f) Push down very slowly on the syringe, pushing air into the reservoir.  
It is very important that you push down very slowly (use the gauge on the side  
of the syringe and do not push down more than 1ml at a time). The ink  
reservoir becomes pressurized as you push air into it. Forcing too much air in  
too quickly can result in ink squirting back up and out the air balance tube at  
force if the syringe is removed without drawing back on it a little.  
As you gently push down on the syringe, ink will feed through the tubing forcing  
excess air through the silicone tubing and into the cartridge. As you do this you  
will notice the cartridge filling with ink.  
cartridge has too much air  
ink level rises  
Once the cartridge is near full slowly draw back 1 cm on the syringe  
Carefully remove the syringe from the reservoir to prevent ink back flowing up  
the air balance tube due to a build up of pressure.  
BEWARE  
Ink & air bubbles will come out of the sponge. Use a tissue to absorb any ink.  
g) Replace the air filter or travel plug. Re-attach the cartridge cover until you have  
finished priming to prevent accidental ink spills.  
Repeat steps 13)d) – e) for all colours requiring priming.

Trouble Shooting  
tm  
Please contact rihac on (+61)3 9005 5555 If any of the following  
trouble shooting suggestions do not fix your problems.  
DO NOT CONTACT THE PLACE OF PURCHASE  
a) Leaking Ink  
If your CISS appears to be leaking from the cartridges, please ensure that you  
do not have the ink reservoirs placed higher then the printer level. The CISS  
works on a vacuum and if raised gravity will take over and flood you printer.  
Ensure that you installed the silicone seals as section 5) of this manual.  
Failure to install the seals can result in ink seepage.  
b) Poor Print Quality  
i) Bad print nozzle check.  
If you are having problems when performing nozzle checks please  
ensure that the small silicone seals have not moved out of place when  
inserting the cartridges. They must not be interfering with the print head.  
Not enough ink!  
ii) If you are finding that colours seem to be missing or are printing poorly  
please ensure that you have placed the air valves into the travel plug  
holes as per section 11)a). If you have done this please check that the  
roller clamp on the back of your CISS is released (ie rolled to the top) as  
per section 11)a).  
iii) If your unit has excess air in the silicone tubing please perform a deep  
head clean followed by a nozzle check. If this does not remove the air  
from the tubing please refer to the priming instructions on page 24.  
Too much ink!  
iv) Please ensure that you do not have your ink reservoir placed higher than  
the printer level. The CISS works on a vacuum and if raised higher than  
the printer head, gravity will take over and flood you printer  
v) Check your printer settings to ensure you have the correct setting for the  
paper you are using. If you choose photo paper when using plain paper  
or vice versa the print will be affected as these settings determine the  
amount of ink dispersed onto the paper.  
c) Abnormal Grinding Noises.  
If your printer is making abnormal sounds or the printer head seems to be  
struggling to move from one end to the other please readjust the metal bracket  
which is holding the silicone tubing and check the length of the tubing as per  
page 13).  
28  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
d) Ink Tank Error.  
If your printer is stating that an ink tank error has occurred please check the  
following if the message does not identify the problem cartridge ;  
i) Check the ink feed tubing is neither too tight nor too loose as per page 13.  
.
ii) Unclick and re-click all cartridges whilst in the cartridge change position. This  
will temporarily activate all the LED lights on the cartridges. Any cartridge  
LED which does not activate (either flash or remain constant) is either  
physically damaged or attached incorrectly.  
If the above does not assist you please make your way through the following  
trouble shooting chart.  
16)  
Trouble Shooting Chart  
i) Open the printer cover and remove the plug holding down the printer lid  
sensor button. This will allow the cartridges to move to the cartridge change  
position.  
ii) Unclick only the 8bk cartridge so that the chip is no longer contacting the chip  
reader however is still seated in the cartridge bay.  
iii) Re insert the printer lid sensor plug and close the printer lid. An error  
message will pop up on the screen. Follow the chart to diagnose the error.

Canon Error Messages  
If one or more of your ink cartridges  
cannot be recognised, please ensure that  
the cartridges are clicked into position  
and/or the chips are correctly placed on  
the cartridges.  
The most common cause of this issue is  
the blockage or damage of the LED as  
per page 9.  
Ensure the printer lid is closed when  
checking cartridge recognition. Ambient  
light in some situations can affect the  
LED sensors. Failure to close the lid  
while testing can result in cartridge  
recognition error messages.  
To check that the LED’s have not been  
damaged, bring the cartridges to the  
change position. Once in position unclick  
and re-click into position all the  
cartridges. If the LED light of a cartridge  
is not functioning (flashing or constant) it  
is most likely that the chip is faulty or  
damaged. In this case the chip may need  
to be replaced.  
When your printer turns on it performs a  
check of the LED lights emitting from the  
cartridge chips. This is done when the  
cartridges are at the left most position. The  
LED light shines through the clear plastic of  
the cartridge to the sensor. If the sensors  
cannot detect the light the printer will produce  
an error message similar to the one pictured  
above. If this happens check the cartridges to  
make sure nothing physical impacting on the  
LED. The most common explanation is a  
missing LED, accidently cut off when  
In unusual cases this message may  
appear if the chips have been mixed up  
and fitted to the incorrect CISS cartridge.  
(i.e. Yellow OEM cartridge chip on a Blue  
CISS cartridge). The solution in this case  
is to remove all chips and re-attach to  
OEM cartridges to identify which chip  
belongs to each coloured cartridge

Service error 6502 generally means  
that your cartridge chips cannot be  
recognised. The primary causes of this  
error message are:  
1- Covering of the LED light at the  
back of the chip  
2- Incorrect chip positioning on the  
cartridge. Again Ensure that no  
tape, glue etc is covering or  
impeding LED on the rear of the  
chips.  
3- The lid of the printer is open  
whilst testing – This will cause  
the ambient light to interfere with  
the LED lights which are checked  
as the print head moves from left  
to right.  
4- The LED on one or more of the  
cartridges has been damaged  
when removing it from the  
original cartridge  
5- The chips have been mixed up  
and fitted to the incorrect CISS  
cartridge. (i.e. Yellow OEM  
cartridge chip on a Blue CISS  
cartridge). These chips are  
colour specific and need to be  
fitted to the corresponding  
coloured CISS cartridge  
6- Ink is covering the cartridge chip  
or a sensitive area of the  
cartridge and preventing the LED  
light sensor from functioning
