Printing Maintenance

￿Resetting the Ink Counter

When an ink tank is replaced, the ink counter must be reset.

The low ink warning is only displayed properly if the ink counter is reset.

Message Prompting Confirmation of Ink Tank Replacement

If an ink tank is removed, the printer will send a message prompting you to confirm replacement of the ink tank at the start of the next print job.

When an ink tank has been replaced, follow the procedure below to reset the ink counter. The low ink warning is only displayed properly if the ink counter is reset.

Important If infrared communication is performed in Windows XP or Windows 2000, the printer will not send the message asking for confirmation of ink tank replacement.

This is why it is important to open the printer driver's Properties dialog box and manually reset the ink tank counter in the Maintenance tab whenever an ink tank is replaced.

Mistakenly clicking No, instead, will prevent the low ink warning from functioning properly. If this happens, be sure to open the driver’s Properties dialog box and manually reset the ink tank counter in the Maintenance tab.

See "Resetting the Ink Counter in the Printer Properties dialog box" on page 65

Select the replaced ink tank, and click OK.

The dialog box allows you to select the replaced ink tank.

When both black and color ink tanks have been replaced, select both Black and Color.
