Resetting the ink counter

The ink counter keeps track of how much ink is left in the ink tanks allowing the machine to warn you when ink is running low. It also allows you to check the current ink level of the ink tanks at any time.

When you replace an ink tank, the LCD will automatically prompt you to reset the ink counter. However, if for any reason you did not reset the ink counter when replacing the ink tanks, follow this procedure to reset it.

Please note that if you do not reset the ink counter after replacing an ink tank, the low ink warning will not display properly and you will not be able to check the ink level as explained in Checking the ink level, below.
