Maintenance That Must Be Performed Daily
Out-of-ink Warnings
When an ink pouch runs out, printing pauses and a warning beep sounds. Pull out the empty car-
tridge and insert a new one. Printing resumes.
If an ink runs out, the numbers of the color that has run out flash.

Maintenance of Ink Cartridges
The precipitation of the ingredients in the ink disables printing in normal color. So that the ink mixes
well, shake the ink cartridge horizontally with a stroke length of around 5 cm (2 in.) from each end of
the ink cartridge.
• Remove the white ink cartridge, shake it 50 times (about 20 seconds), and then reinsert this cartridge.
• The ink cartridges for colors other than white do not need to be shaken before every operation, but
be sure to shake them when installing new ones.
The ingredients in white ink tend to settle. Each day, before starting the day's operations, be sure to
shake this cartridge. Allowing the ink to stand without carrying out these steps can cause the settled
material to harden, resulting in malfunction or other problems.
I M P OR TA N T
• Before shaking the ink cartridge, wipe off any ink from around its mouth. If you do not wipe off the
ink, it may splatter when you shake the ink cartridge.
• When you have finished mixing the ink, reattach the ink cartridge immediately. Taking time to
reattach the ink cartridge will adversely affect the ink path.
• Even if you are not using the printer, shake the white ink cartridge 50 times (about 20 seconds) once
a week.
