Replacing the Maintenance Tank

The maintenance tank stores ink that gets flushed from the system during manual and automatic print head cleaning. When the tank is almost full, the message MNT TK NEAR FULL appears on the LCD panel. When the tank is completely full, the printer stops working and MNT TNK FULL appears on the LCD.

You can check how much space remains in the maintenance tank by viewing its indicator on the control panel, shown below. You can also check its status using the SelecType menu (see page 103) or by printing a nozzle check sheet (see page 102).
