Refilling ink

Time Period for Ink Refills

If the Check Ink Levels message is displayed on the
control panel screen, immediately do the following two
points.
❏ Prepare an ink pack of the appropriate color.
❏ Check the remaining ink level, and if it is 50 mm or
less from the bottom of the ink tank, replace the
chip unit and refill the ink.
You will be unable to print if Refill Ink Tank appears for
even one color. If the Check Ink Levels message is
displayed in the middle of a print job, you can replace
the chip unit and refill the ink as printing continues.

Maintenance

Important:
This printer is equipped with a remaining ink
warning system. Information about the available
amount of ink in one pack is recorded in the chip
unit supplied with a new ink pack. By installing a
new chip unit on the printer, this information is
written to the printer.
The warning system for remaining ink estimates the
remaining ink based on the information written to
the printer for one pack of ink and the ink usage
conditions, and then displays a message. To
maintain the accuracy of this system, you must
replace the chip unit and refill the ink as soon as
possible once the remaining ink is 50 mm or less
from the bottom of the ink tank.
Charging and reserving chip units
Writing the information about available amount of ink
in one ink pack when a chip unit is installed on the
printer is called "charging". After charging, the chip unit
that was installed on the printer can be replaced with the
chip unit supplied with the next new ink pack. Replacing
a new chip unit after charging is called "reserving". By
reserving, the information about the available amount
of ink in one ink pack is automatically charged to the
printer from the reserved chip unit simultaneously
when the charge is gone. Reserving can be done at any
time if the indicator's level for the estimated amount of
ink is between 1 and 6.
When reservation is performed, a warning is not
displayed when the estimated amount of ink becomes
low. Refill the ink with one pack of ink if the remaining
ink is 50 mm or less from the bottom of the ink tank. See
steps 2 to 6 on the following page for the procedure to
replace the chip units.
You can confirm whether or not a chip is reserved by the
status icons of the chip units.
