A Routine maintenance
Replacing the ink cartridges
Your machine is equipped with an ink dot counter. The ink dot counter automatically monitors the level of ink in each of the
four cartridges. When the machine detects an ink cartridge is running out of ink, the machine will display a message on the LCD.
The LCD will show which ink cartridge is low or needs replacing. Be sure to follow the LCD prompts to replace the ink cartridges in the correct order.
Even though the machine tells you to replace an ink cartridge, there will be a small amount of ink left in the ink cartridge. It is necessary to keep some ink in the ink cartridge to prevent air from drying out and damaging the print head assembly.
CAUTION
If ink gets in your eyes, wash it out with water at once and call a doctor if you are concerned.
