Hi John,

The R200 is very similar to the R220 so you should be able to use the instructions and information available here:
http://www.continuousink.info/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4100

Usually identifying the waste tube behind the trap door is the hardest part but once you've found it, just gently pull at it using some tweezers or similar to tease out the end, then plug the barbed fitting at the end of the kit into the end..

The waste ink bag then hooks up to the other end and you need to check the white clip on the tubing is open, not clamped to ensure the ink flows properly.

It's up to you whether you modify the trap door to allow the tube to exit and then replace it or just leave the trap door open. As a general rule though is often better to organise things so that the tube fitting site behind the trap door (inside the printer) so that any sudden pulls on the tubing won't pull the whole assembly off the pump inside the printer.

If you're still unsure of what to do, please take a few pictures of the back or your printer (with the trap door removed) and email them through to me on info AT continuousink.info and I'll mark them up so you can see where things should be.
