MUTOH ValueJet VJ-1204 User Manual page 34

Notes
•
The ValueJet ink cassettes have been developed in such a way that miss-insertion is not possible. For
each colour, a different design is used, i.e., fins are placed at the outside of each cassette, at different
locations, depending on the ink colour used.
Result: The operation panel displays "Ink Refill **%", and the initial ink replenishment starts.
•
The ink replenishment takes about five minutes. Initial ink replenishment and pause operation are
repeated during initial filling.
•
After the ink replenishment is completed, when "100%" is displayed, the operation panel displays
"Paper End".

If this is the case, perform a head cleaning, two to three times, as shown in "Head cleaning", and
check the results.
•
If the quality of the printed image has not improved, even after performing head cleaning, then leave
the printer unused for more than one hour. After that, perform a head cleaning again and check the
printed image. If the quality still hasn't improved, than contact your local MUTOH dealer.
Notes
• Only use Mutoh original ink for ValueJet printers.
This printer has been fine tuned for use of genuine ink cassettes. In case of using non genuine ink
cassettes, notice the following :
o Printing might become blurred and the end of ink in the cassette might no longer be correctly
detected.
o The problems caused by the use of non original ink cassettes will not be covered by the warranty
and repair costs will be at the expense of the customer.
• When ink cassettes are moved from a cold place to a warm place, keep the ink cassettes unused for
three hours or more in the printing environment.
