142Maintaining and Transporting the Printer

When one of the tanks is almost full, the message NOT ENOUGH CAPACITY, REPLACE THE XXX MAINTENANCE TANK appears on the LCD display, indicating which tank is almost full. When the tank is completely full, the printer stops working and MAINT TANK FULL appears on the LCD, along with an indication of which tank is full.
