3) Ink-out error display

When an ink-out error occurs, replace either the BJ cartridge or ink tanks by either pressing the REPLACE button on the printer or using the printer driver utility.

The cartridge or tank replacement procedure is as follows:

1)If the black ink or ink optimizer has run out, the ERROR indicator turns ON and the beeper sounds 3 times. If the color or photo inks have run out, the beeper sounds 4 times.

If you press the RESUME button, the beeper sounds again so that you can know which ink has run out.

2)Press the REPLACE button to move the carriage to the cartridge replacement position so that you can replace the appropriate BJ cartridge or ink tank.

If there is any print data in the receive buffer, the printer restarts printing.

An ink-out error message is displayed on the utility sheet of the printer driver to indicate the ink that has run out.

Follow the instructions displayed on the host PC's screen to replace the BJ cartridge or ink tank.

When using the bidirectional interface, the head alignment mode is automatically selected after the BJ cartridge has been replaced. Follow the instructions on the PC screen to align the print heads.

Ink-out detection is designed to inform the operator that the ink has run out. This function does not automatically halt printing before the ink actually runs out or before print faults develop due to bubbles in the ink paths.

After replacing a BJ cartridge, be sure to align the BJ cartridges.

If you deal with the ink-out error at the printer rather than using the printer driver, or if you use the printer driver utility, but the interface in use is not bidirectional, head alignment mode is not automatically selected. It is therefore necessary to manually select head alignment mode and align the heads. See Part 3, section 1.3.3, "Installing the BJ cartridge" (page 3-4)for details of head alignment.

Note that the ink-out detection can be disabled using the printer driver's hidden functions.

See Part 3, section 3.3.2 "Service mode of printer driver" (page 3-18)for details of the printer driver's service mode.
