If the cleaning operation is performed more than 4 times continuously, ink is not absorbed because

of dummy CL sequence function. Threfore, if cleaning operation is required more than 4 times, it

should be restarted after printing something out once, such as self-test or demonstration page.

6.1.2 WasteInk Drain Tank Replacement

The printer counts the total amount of ink drained to the waste ink tank, and this information is stored in the

EEPROM on the main board (Protect counter A) for ink system operation management. If the value of this

counter reaches a predetermined value, all three lights blink and indicate error status. (“Maintenance request,”

see Chapter 1, Error indications, Table 1-15). When this error is displayed, replace the waste ink drain pad

andreset the protec t counter.

1. Removethe printer mechanism (Refer to3.2.5) and replace the waste ink tank located in the waste ink

tank.

2. After reassemblethe printer, take following steps in order to reset the protect counter.

3. ➮Turn theprinter on while holding down the Cle ningand Load/Eject buttons.

Paper outlights start blinking)

4. Under this condition, press the Cleaning button, then initialize operation will be automatically

perforemed.

❐Since the value of conater is stored in EEPROM, the waste ink pad must be replaced when the

main board is replaced. Ohterwise, ink might leak from the waste ink tank while printing.
