Replacing a FINE Cartridge

This section explains the way to confirm the ink status and the procedure to replace FINE Cartridges.

When ink runs out or other errors occur, an error message is displayed on the LCD to inform you of the error. See "An Error Message Is Displayed on the LCD" on page 57 and confirm how to handle it.

When printing from your computer, error messages appear on your computer screen as well.

Note

•If there is no improvement with the quality of printing following such maintenance as Print Head Cleaning, a FINE Cartridge is probably empty. When ink runs out, replace the FINE Cartridge. The machine cannot print if the wrong type of FINE Cartridge is used.

•For information on compatible FINE Cartridges, see the back cover of this guide.

•Getting the Ink Status Information

Note

The ink level detector is mounted on the machine to detect the remaining ink level. The machine

considers as ink is full when a new FINE Cartridge is installed, and then starts to detect a remaining ink level. If you install a used FINE Cartridge, the indicated ink level of it may not be

correct. In such case, refer to the ink level information only as a guide.

You can check the current ink level by pressing the COPY button, the SCAN button, or the MEMORY CARD button. The LCD will display the ink level for a few seconds.

(A)Indicates the remaining ink volume.

• When ink is low

Ink is low. You can continue printing for a while, but we recommend you to have a new FINE Cartridge available.

•When ink has run out

An error message may appear on the LCD while printing.
