Replacing Ink

Cartridges

Note:

When you replace the ink cartridges while the printer is turned off, the remaining ink cannot be detected correctly so the ink may become unusable before the Ink Check light comes on and you cannot print correctly. Follow the steps below to replace an ink cartridge.

When ink needs to be replaced/When ink gets low

When the Ink Check light is flashing, this indicates that the ink level is low. If the ink is low, you need to replace the ink cartridge as soon as possible. You cannot continue to print even if only one of the ink cartridges is expended. If an ink cartridge runs out while printing, replace it with a new one so the printer can continue to print.

Confirming the ink cartridge remaining

The remaining ink in the cartridges is always displayed on the LCD panel.

See “Display” on page 13

You can check the accurate amount of ink remaining in the Printer Status menu. You need to check the amount of ink remaining before printing a lot of data. If there is a low ink cartridge, prepare a new one.

See “Using the Menu mode” on page 14

See “PRINTER STATUS” on page 25

Notes for handling the ink cartridges

❏When INK LOW appears on the LCD panel, replace the cartridges with a new one as soon as possible to avoid ink to being expended while printing.

❏Use up the ink cartridge within six months of installation for best results.

❏Do not use an ink cartridge beyond the date printed on the cartridge carton. If you use an ink cartridge beyond the expiry date, it may affect the print quality.

❏Store ink cartridges under the same condition as the printer.

❏Do not touch the ink supply port or its surrounding area. The ink may leak from it.

❏Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the ink cartridge. Doing so may affect normal operation and printing.
