1.The printer has a separate bottle, each 0.5 or 0.25 liters, for each color. The ink bottle should be replaced when either:

2.The ink bottle is empty

3.The ink is too old, as indicated on the expiration date, which is printed on the bottle. Expired ink can cause light image densities.

a.For cases where an ink bottle is empty, the LCD will display the Ink Empty message.

b.An ink bottle can be changed at any time, that is, during operation, idle, or off.

Caution: There will be a small amount of ink left in the bottom of the ink cartridge. This is normal. Do not attempt to pour the residue from one bottle into a fresh bottle. Doing so will alter the chemical makeup of the inks themselves, and the excessive residue can cause damage to interior machine components as well as impact color quality. There is extra ink in each of the bottles to compensate for this residue.
