3-2 Remaining Ink
You can use [INK LEFT] on the display menu to check how much ink is left after the ink cartridges have been installed. Use this information as a guide for replacing the ink cartridges.
If a partially used ink cartridge is removed and reinstalled, or if a partially used ink cartridge is installed, the cartridge is taken to be unused, and the displaced amount of remaining ink is not true.

3-3 Cleaning the Printing Heads
Switching on the sub power automatically performs maintenance operations, including cleaning of the printing head. This means that there is normally no need to perform cleaning otherwise.
If
The cleaning causes a certain amount of head wear and also consumes a certain amount of ink, so use should be kept to a minimum.
[POWERFUL] results in faster head wear and also uses up much ink. (Performing cleaning from the [POWERFUL] menu uses up about 57 cc of ink for six colors. This is because the process discharges all ink in the ink tube and replaces it with fresh ink.)
