Installing CISS on canon pixma ip7240. Preparing cartridges for cable installation
When installing CISS on printers and MFP Canon Pixma iP7240, MG5440, MG5540, MG5640, MG6440, MG6640, MX924 and iX6840, as well as 6-color MG7140, MG6340, iP8740, MG7540, special attention should be paid to laying the cable. The fact is that these models have very little inside free space. We recommend that you take on the installation prepared and experienced in installing CISS on Canon printers and MFPs. This instruction does not contain detailed step-by-step explanations and descriptions of the actions required for installation. Only basic manipulations that will be the same for all models of printers and MFPs.
Step 1. Preparing the printer or MFP for installation of the CISS.
Before starting the installation, check the condition of the printer and the print head, for correct operation there should be no problems when printing, the print test should not contain spaces.
Mac OS Print Quality Check
Checking Windows Print Quality
If the print quality is poor when printing a test, contact your nearest service center or independently. Installing a CISS on a Canon Pixma iP7240, MG5440, MG5540, MG6440, MG5640, MG6640, MX924 and iX6840 printer or MFP is a replacement for ink tanks that will not affect print quality, ink consumption and other printer parameters in any way.
Step 2. Filling tanks and cartridges with CISS, pumping the loop.
Installation of CISS for Canon Pixma iP7240, MG5440, MG5540, MG6440, MG5640, MG6640, MX924 and iX6840 must be started by refilling the CISS and ink cartridges. To begin, fill the CISS donor containers:
Fill the containers according to the instructions.
Step 3. Pumping the CISS, refilling the cartridges with ink.
Each cartridge in the CISS kit is equipped with a clip that closes the outlet to avoid contamination during delivery and storage.
Clips with rubber seals covering cartridge outlets.
The CISS kit comes with two silicone seals with holes that serve to pump ink into the cartridge. Before refueling, it is necessary to replace the seal originally installed in the clip with a seal with a bleed hole. The set includes two seals, for a "thick" pigment cartridge and for thin ones, one seal for all 4 cartridges.
For refilling cartridges and pumping ink, the seals in the cartridge are replaced with special seals with holes. Supplied as a set of 2.
Clip with seal for pumping ink.
We put a clip on the cartridge. Please note that for thin cartridges, one seal is used and after pumping ink, the clip and seal must be washed and thoroughly wiped with a napkin.
A clip for ink pumping is put on the cartridge.
To pump ink into the cable and cartridge, insert the syringe into the hole in the rubber seal, and slowly pull it towards you, pumping out air and filling the cable and cartridge with ink. The cartridge should "stand" vertically.
The cartridge is ready to be filled with ink.
Install the cartridge that you are pumping ink strictly vertically. Start pumping.
Install the cartridge in such a way that the ink cable would fit from below, the ink began to fill the chambers of the cartridge from the bottom chamber. Pump out air with a syringe until the cartridge is completely filled and the cartridge filler is impregnated. Take your time, pumping one cartridge should take about a minute.
Slowly pump the cartridge with ink until the filler is completely filled.
After filling the cartridge with ink, without changing its position relative to the containers, remove the clip with a filling seal (seal with a hole) and put on a clip with a regular seal (without a hole) for thin cartridges. For a wide pigment cartridge, replace the seal in the clip and fit the clip in the same way. This will save you from airing the CISS and their leakage from the cartridges if the cartridges are lowered below the level of the ink tanks.
Before you install cartridges in your printer or MFP, close all caps on the containers. After that, you can remove the clips from the cartridges and continue installing the CISS without fear that the ink will leak and flood the print head or printer mechanisms.
The cartridges are equipped with AUTO-chips firmware version for CISS - to reset the ink level, after the end of the cartridge, just open the cover of the MFP printer and close it, the chip will reset the ink level readings.
Note: This CISS is designed to be installed by experienced users with experience in installing CISS. Laying the cable in the printer is a rather complicated procedure due to the minimum space. There are no ways to lay a cable in the instructions, the buyer solves this problem himself, or turns to professionals. If you are not sure that you can install the CISS on your printer, pay attention to reshipable cartridges for Canon iP7240, MG5440, MG5540, MG5640, MG6440, MG6640, iX6840, MX924.
CISS installation on this model requires skill and a minimum of tools. Before proceeding with the installation, carefully read this manual to the end, check the completeness and availability of the necessary tools. We strongly advise you to stock up on medical gloves and wipes.
When turned off, the printer carriage is locked. In order to be able to move it freely when installing the CISS, you must turn on the printer, let it do all its business (buzz, buzz and curse) and open the entire front panel. You will see how the carriage begins to slowly move to the left to the replacement position, and then we pull the power cord from the outlet.
Preparing cartridges for cable installation
1. In the cartridges, in the places of the QR code, we make holes using the DRILL-Kit or a drill with a diameter of 4.2 mm. We insert rubber bushings into them and set aside. And also, we glue, for example, with super-glue, the ventilation holes of the cartridges.
Preparing the printer and laying the cable
1. We start disassembling the printer by removing the narrow panel on the back side. To do this, in the places marked with convex lines, insert a screwdriver, press down and pull the panel to the side. Then raise top cover and a cover that closes access to the cartridges.
3. Remove the side walls. To do this, we hook them in three places from above and two from below, as shown in the photo.
4. Remove the cover covering the optical sensor and disconnect it.
5. Remove the upper frame of the printer, prying with a flat screwdriver in two places in front and two in the back.
6. We finalize the carriage. We bite off the excess plastic, which will interfere with the laying of the cable inside the printer.
7. In the place marked "ABS-GF20" it is necessary to drill 5 holes with a diameter of 3 mm one after the other. Then bite the resulting partitions and saw through the resulting groove with a needle file. And also bite off the partition between the CLI-451Y (yellow) and PGI-450pgbk (black) cartridges.
8. Now we will finalize the frame. We remove the optical sensor.
9. We bite off part of the stiffeners and part of the niche in which the sensor is located, as well as the cover that closes it. After we glue it on electrical tape or adhesive tape, not forgetting to put the sensor in place.
10. We are finalizing the right side wall. We mark 46 mm from above and draw a line.
11. From the edge adjacent to the front panel, set aside 14 mm and draw a line, this is the center of the leftmost hole. Then we draw 4 more lines every 3 mm.
12. Using the Robika Drill-Kit or a 3 mm drill, we make 5 holes one by one. We cut the partitions with a clerical knife or wire cutters. Then we process with a file.
13. We connect the cable to the containers in accordance with the colors. We drag it through the groove in the side wall, then under the carriage and into the carriage, through the corresponding groove.
14. We adjust the train in length, moving the carriage to the extreme positions, and put a mark.
15. Put the cartridges in the carriage. We separate the cable and cut it, thereby adjusting the length of each capillary to the sleeve of the cartridge of the corresponding color. We put the fitting on the capillaries and put the cable in the gap between the 451 and 450 cartridges. Fasten with a strip of tape.
Filling with ink and pumping CISS
1. We fill and pump the system. ATTENTION! FIRST, CLOSE THE AIR HOLES OF THE CONTAINERS (THEY ARE LESS THAN FILLING)!!! We insert funnels into the filling holes and fill it WITHOUT OPENING THE AIR! We close the filling holes and open the air ones. You can also use syringes. Since the capillaries are connected to the fittings, and the air holes are closed, ink will not flow through the capillaries. Just in case, pinch them with binders (stationery clothespins).
2. Now we pump the ink into the cable, one by one, through the air holes with the help of a syringe, we pump air, as soon as the ink reaches the fitting, insert it into the cartridge. We take out the syringe and insert filters into the air holes.
Cable adjustment and printer assembly
1. Once again we check the adjustment of the cable, and then glue a couple of pieces of double-sided tape under the cable, and a couple on top and tie it to the metal bar with a thick thread.
2. We press the capillaries to the carriage with tape strips.
3. We are finalizing the cover that closes access to the carriage. This will require 3-4 pieces of foam of arbitrary shape, and 9mm thick. We stick double-sided tape on both sides of it and glue it, as shown in the photo.
4. Now we take an unnecessary DVD-BOX made of soft plastic and cut out a rectangle measuring 167 by 36 mm from it and do not forget to trim a couple of corners from it by eye.
5. We glue the resulting part onto the foam racks. It will prevent the train from being bitten between the top of the frame and the carriage.
6. Now we assemble everything in the reverse order.
Checking the operation of the system.
1) Turn on the printer and do a deep cleaning through the driver.
2) We print a nozzle check, if there are unprinted stripes on the test sheet, we do a second cleaning.
3) Since the printer mathematically calculates the ink consumption and "does not know" about the installation of the CISS, after a while it will begin to report the end of ink in the cartridges, the deterioration of print quality and printer operation. You just need to click "Yes", ignoring this message. After a few such messages, the printer will display the following message: "Press the "Stop" button for 5 seconds and the ink counter will turn off." This operation will also need to be done with another cartridge.
1) Do not let the ink level in the tanks fall below 40%
2) To keep the ink in the cartridges from drying out, print at least once every 5 days.
3) If streaks appear when printing after installing the system, you need to check and take the following steps:
Check the tightness of the system at the junction of the cartridges with capillaries. If necessary, glue the joints with superglue.
Check if the cartridge caps are pinching the capillaries. In case of pinching, adjust the length of the capillaries and the position of the capillaries when closing the cartridge cover.
If everyone previous paragraphs performed and deep cleaning does not help, most likely the ink in the print head of the cartridge has dried up. You need to flush the printhead using OCP RSL, OCP NRC, or OCP LCF III flush fluid.

The CISS is supplied empty, therefore, to refuel this system, we recommend purchasing or. You will receive a quality kit that allows you to print a lot, efficiently and economically.
For a complete list of printers for which this CISS can be used, see the section COMPATIBILITY
COMPATIBILITY
This product is compatible with the following printer models:
The above printers use the following cartridges:
Technical characteristics of the goods may differ from those indicated on the site, check specifications goods at the time of purchase and payment. All information on the site about the goods is for reference only and is not a public offer in accordance with paragraph 2 of Article 437 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. We kindly ask you to check the availability of the desired functions and characteristics when purchasing.
For different models printers, there may be differences in the configuration of the CISS, but the technology of refilling and installation is identical!
Read the instructions carefully before installing the CISS! For a more convenient installation of CISS, it is advisable to prepare a syringe for 10 cubes and napkins in advance, they may be needed during the installation process
| 1. Open the box with CISS Lay out a set of CISS in front of you. Note. Modern printer printheads have very small print nozzles, so any foreign object, up to fine dust, may degrade the print quality of the printer. The production of CISS is located in factories with a high level of air purification, but the CISS containers are supplied open, as a result of which there is a risk of foreign objects getting into them. We recommend that before filling CISS, rinse the containers with distilled water or washing liquid designed for inkjet technology. after washing, be sure to dry the CISS. |

2. Loop connection Connect the cable using the adapter that comes with the kit. Pay close attention to the color sequence! Attention! In some printer models, the location of the cartridges may not match the location of the colors of the cartridges in the CISS kit! In this case, you just need to change the color stickers on the cartridges and connect the cable in the right order! |
 |
3.Chip replacement (for CISS models without chips) If your CISS is equipped with auto-reset chips, skip this step. For the system to work, you will need to rearrange the chips from the original cartridges to the CISS cartridges. Rearrange the chips one by one, match the colors of the cartridge chips, each chip is responsible for its own cartridge, for its own color. First carefully remove the chip from original cartridge, you can do this with a clerical knife or a screwdriver with a flat sharp nozzle. Then install the chip into the slot of the CISS cartridge. To fix the chip, you will need to solder the plastic holders on which the chip is attached, you can do this with the same screwdriver, after heating it with a lighter or a soldering iron. |
 |
4. Filling ink bottles Insert funnels for filling ink into the large holes on the containers, and into the small ones (air compartments), rubber plugs according to the colors, as shown in the figure. Fill the containers with ink of the appropriate colors through the funnels, the volume of ink in the containers should not exceed 80-90% of the total capacity. There should be no ink in the air compartments. After filling all the containers, remove the funnels and close the holes tightly with a colored plug. Funnels must be thoroughly rinsed with running water in order to be used later for refueling CISS. |
 |
|
 |
Then, place an air filter in each of the air compartments to prevent dust from entering during the operation of the CISS, as shown in the figure. |
 |
5. Refueling CISS cartridges ink In order for the cartridges to start filling with ink, you need to remove the rubber plug from each cartridge. After that, the ink will begin to flow from the tanks along the loop to the cartridges, while the cartridges should be lower than the ink tanks in terms of level. To speed up the process of filling the cartridges with ink, take a syringe and insert it with its nose into the hole, then gently pull the piston up, pumping out air. Keep an eye on the level of ink in the cartridge! Once the cartridge is nearly full, remove the syringe and close the opening tightly with the plug. |
 |
6. Installation of CISS cartridges Turn on the printer. Open the top cover of the printer, and start the cartridge replacement procedure, either using the appropriate utility on the computer, or by holding the "drop" button, or as indicated in the printer's instructions. When the carriage is in the cartridge replacement position, unplug the cord from the outlet, this is done so that you can work freely with the printer while installing the cartridges and laying the cable. If transparent O-rings are included in the CISS package, put them on the printer's ink intake nozzles, as shown in the figure. Carefully remove the stands from the cartridges and firmly install the cartridge into the carriage. Now you need to lay a cable, it should be enough for the carriage to move freely to the extreme right and left positions, but at the same time it should not hang out, cling to the walls or break. To check the correct laying of the cable, press the cable at the intended attachment point, and move the carriage from the extreme left position to the extreme right, and vice versa, if nothing touches and does not interfere with the movement of the carriage, secure it with the included holders. |
| 7. System start To fool the sensor open lid printer, if the cable interferes with its tight closure, you must insert any improvised object (a piece of paper, an eraser, etc.) into the cover sensor compartment. AT Canon printers there is a photosensitive sensor on the printer carriage, at the moment of cartridge replacement it is activated, therefore, when you first turn on the printer with the CISS installed, you will need to cover the space under the carriage with a sheet of paper or any other handy object. Turn on the printer in the network, the carriage itself will return to its working position. The cartridges should then be recognized by the printer. If this does not happen, try rubbing the chips (shiny part) with an eraser and install the cartridges again, insert them more tightly into the carriage. Next, run the print head cleaning procedure, after which it is recommended to let the printer with the CISS stand for about 2 hours so that the system stabilizes and the air that could get in when refilling the CISS is released. Print a nozzle test. If all nozzles are in order, you can get to work. Important! Typically, the containers are located on the same level as the printer. If several nozzles often disappear during printing and cleaning does not help, you can try setting the containers 2-3 cm higher relative to the printer. If, on the contrary, when printing, the printer makes blots or when the ink is idle, it leaks into the cap of the printer, you should lower the containers relative to the printer (or put something under the printer).

Actions in case of deterioration of printing.
Do a nozzle test.
If 1-2 nozzles are missing, then do not take any action. Let the system stand for 1-2 hours. Then do a nozzle test again. All nozzles should be restored.
If more nozzles are missing, then run the cleaning using the utility on the computer, once. Then let the system stand for 30-40 minutes. In 90% of cases, the nozzles will recover. If not recovered, run the cleaning again, and again wait 30-40 minutes.
Application of ink.
For reliable operation of the CISS, use only high-quality ink. Don't try to save money on them. This savings can result not only in printing problems, but also in the failure of the printer's print head.
CISS refueling technology.
When the ink level in the tanks becomes about 2 cm, refilling is necessary. To do this, remove the filters from the air compartment and tightly close the holes with a rubber plug. Open the cap of the ink compartment, install the funnel, carefully fill in the ink (they must be the same as they were filled earlier and do not forget to shake them beforehand), do it one by one this operation for each color. Take out the ink funnel, plug the ink compartment, and only then open the air compartments and insert the air filters. The air box must be empty.

Excellent CISS! I use Canon iP7240. Works without problems. Included were thin silicone gaskets. If your printer is not dead old, then you do not need to install them. They are needed only when the native rubber bands are already strongly pressed through. I think they will come in handy later, though I'm not sure.

Thanks a lot. I suffered for two days and voila - everything works like a clock. In reviews of other models, it is clearly noted about the scarcity of instructions and the sensible laying of the cable. I read on an Internet that it is undesirable to install CISS under the ip7240 model. I took the risk and have no regrets. Works with a bang. Thank you guys, respect.
