TROUBLESHOOTING AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE 5 - 20
Replacing the ink cartridg es
Your DCP is equipped with an ink dot counter. The ink dot counter
automatically monitor s the level of ink in each of the four cartridges.
When the DCP detects an ink cartr idge is running out of ink, the D CP
will notify you with a message on the LCD.
The LCD will inform you which ink cartridge is low or needs replacing.
Be sure to follow the LCD pr ompts to replace the ink ca rtridges in the
correct order.
Even though the DCP informs you that an ink cartridge is empty,
there will be a small amount of ink remaining in the ink cartridge. It is
necessary to keep some ink in the ink cartridge to prevent air from
drying out and damaging the pr int head assembly.
