3.4.5 Setting the EEPROM

After replacing the control board or waste-ink absorber, reset the EEPROM and
restore the printer settings. Then do a test printout to check the results.
The procedure is described in
(1) After control board replacement
If the waste-ink absorption amount is over 7 percent (according to a visual check)
at the time you replace the control board, also replace the waste-ink absorber.
Otherwise, the waste ink amount cannot be counted accurately. Then reset the
EEPROM and restore the printer settings.
To check the waste-ink absorption amount, you can either check the service/
factory text printout from the old control board or visually check the waste-ink
absorber's waste-ink absorption amount.
Also, the new control board (EEPROM) does not have the correct data.
The EEPROM must be reset. Otherwise, the waste-ink full error will not occur even
when the waste-ink absorber's capacity is exceeded and ink could leak.
(2) After waste-ink absorber replacement
Clear the EEPROM's waste-ink counter.
7.1 Service Mode Operations on page 2-29
Once the data in the EEPROM is reset, a test printout cannot be used to
check the old data. Be sure to print the data before resetting.
All the data, except the printer settings and USB serial number, will be
reset.
The various settings and waste-ink amount stored in the old EEPROM
cannot be written to the new (replacement) EEPROM.
The waste-ink full error is expected to occur only when the printer prints
more than the number of sheets specified for its service life. However, how
soon this error occurs varies depending on how many times the printer
has been turned on/off, the number of times the BJ cartridge has been
replaced (front cover open/closing), and the operating environment.
