How to Display Low Ink Warning Correctly

•Reset the ink counter every time you install a new ink tank.

The ink counter cannot work correctly unless you synchronize it with the actual ink level. The ink counter can only be adjusted when it is reset at the time a new ink tank is installed.

•Do not reset the ink counter of an ink tank in use.

Synchronization of the counter and the actual ink level will not work properly.

Important If you did not reset the counter when you installed the current ink tanks, the low ink warning may not function correctly, until the next time you replace the ink tanks. Also, be sure to treat both counters separately. Refer to "Low Ink Warning Accompanied by Ink Tank Icon With '?'" on page 56.
