(6) Preventive replacement of ink absorber
Replace the ink absorber in accordance with the "Guideline for Preventive Replacement of Ink Absorber" even
when the ink absorber is not full. (Related Service Information #Q-12E/J-0188)
< Guideline for preventive replacement of ink absorber >
Replace the ink absorber when it falls in either Criteria 1 or Criteria 2.
Criteria
Criteria 1:
*
The ink absorber life
years or less.
Criteria 2:
The ink absorber counter
value is 80% or more.
* The estimated number of months until the ink absorber will become full
< How to judge >
Print the EEPROM information, and check the "D" (ink absorber counter) and "DF" (ink absorber life) values.
Step 1: Is "D" 80% or more?
Yes (80% or more) -> Replace the ink absorber.
No (less than 80%) -> Proceed to Step 2.
Step 2: Is "DF" 24 or more?
No (less than 24 months) -> Replace the ink absorber.
Yes (24 months or more) -> No need to replace the ink absorber.
Note: - If the "ST" (installation date) value is 2010/07/31 or earlier, the "DF" (ink absorber life) value may not
be correct. Skip Step 2.
- The ink absorber life is an estimated value calculated based on the user's machine usage.

Purpose
To avoid re-repair for ink
absorber replacement in a short
is 2
period of time after repair for
other reasons.
To prevent ink leakage during
return of the repaired printer to
users.
