1.2.3 Ink tank

Ink tanks are disposable.

The ink tanks come with 12 colors: mat black (MBK), black (BK), photocyan (PC), cyan (C), photomagenta (PM), magenta (M), yellow (Y), red (R), blue (B), green (G), gray (GY) and photogray (PGY). Each of these inks are pigment ink.

The tanks are also available in two capacities: 330 mL and 700 mL.

Each tank is furnished with a notch for preventing incorrect installation, which will allow the tank to be installed only at the position marked in the right color. An ink tank should be replaced when an ink tank replacement prompt message appears or when six months expire after the date of initial unpacking, whichever occurs earlier.

1.2.6 Media take-up unit (option)

The media take-up unit takes up roll media, ranging in width from 17 to 44 inches, on a 2 or 3-inch paper tube in roll form after they are printed by the host computer. Taking up begins automatically when a sensor attached to the bottom of the stand detects a roll delivered after printing falling down due to the weight of a weight roller.

Rolls may also be manually taken up by using a button on the media take-up unit.
