Routine Maintenance
Replacing Ink Tanks
When an ink tank runs out of ink, replace it using the following steps.
1Open the Scanning Unit (Printer Cover) and the Paper Output Tray.
(1) Make sure the machine is turned on.
(2) Raise the Scanning Unit (Printer Cover) until it stops.
* The Paper Output Tray will open automatically after the Print Head Holder moves to the
center.
(A) Press the Open Button to open the Paper Output Tray if it does not open
automatically.
Note zTo maintain optimal print quality, use an ink tank within six months of its first
use.
zOnce an ink tank has been used, do not remove it from the machine and
leave it out in the open. This will cause the ink tank to dry out and the
machine may not operate properly if it is reinstalled.
zColor ink consumption may occur even when black-and-white or grayscale
printing is specified.
Color ink is consumed in the head cleaning and deep cleaning, which are
necessary to maintain the machine’s capabilities.
Caution Do not hold the LCD or the Operation Panel.
Important If the Scanning Unit (Printer Cover) is left open for more than 10 minutes,
the Print Head Holder moves to the right. Close and reopen the Scanning
Unit (Printer Cover) to return the Print Head Holder to the center.
