3. Maintenance
IMPORTANT! Failure to address the underlying condition that is preventing auto maintenance in a
timely manner can result in head clogging. If you do not know how to clear the condition,
contact technical support immediately for assistance.
There are several warning messages that pop up to alert you of conditions that need to be addressed or
need to be addressed soon.

Parts with service life warnings:
Similar messages can appear for the parts listed in the parts replacement screen. "Warning" when the life
of the part is near its end and "Attention" when the part has reached its end.
IMPORTANT! Only the left ink sump and right ink sump can stop printer operation and auto
maintenance when the service life count is reached. Not the other parts such as the fan
filters, maintenance station, carriage unit, and ink supply units. Printer operation and auto
maintenance continues when the service life is reached for these parts. A part that
reaches its service life count is considered to be out of warranty.
IMPORTANT! If the remaining amount of white ink cartridge is less than 1%,
printing will not be possible. Replace the relevant cartridge and
perform a nozzle check to make sure the head is not clogged.
Pressing [OK] removes the message. It reappears in 12 hours if the condition is
the same.
IMPORTANT! Once an ink cartridge is empty, auto maintenance does not
occur, and head clogging may occur.
Pressing [OK] clears the message. It reappears in 12 hours if the cartridge is
not replaced.
IMPORTANT! Once the waste ink bottle is full, auto maintenance does not
occur, and head clogging may occur.
Pressing [OK] clears the message. It reappears in 12 hours if the waste ink
bottle is not emptied and reset on the control panel.
