Printing Maintenance

6 Close the Top Cover.

The ink tank installation process is now complete.

z The ALARM lamp still flashes orange after the Top Cover is closed if an ink tank is not installed properly. Open the Top Cover and make sure that all the ink tanks are installed in the correct order directed on the label.

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 printer and leave it out in the open. This will cause the ink tank to dry out and the printer 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 printer’s capabilities.

zWhen you start printing after replacing the ink tank, the printer executes Print Head Cleaning automatically. Do not perform any other operations until the Print Head Cleaning finishes. The POWER lamp flashes green during cleaning.
