Ink Spilling

The service configuration plot gives an estimation of the amount of ink in the Printer's spittoon. (Details ' page 4029.) To prevent ink spilling, replace both the spittoon and the ink0separator when the spittoon is almost full. About 880 primes are needed to fill up the ink0separator.

Note that if you clear the EEROM or replace the electronics module, the factory spittoon value is reset to 0% used. Keep in mind that the value printed on the service configuration plot may greatly underestimate the amount of ink in the spittoon.

Belt Swelling

To prevent new belts from swelling incorrectly, keep them in their bags with dissicant until you need to install them.
