MUTOH ValueJet VJ-1204 User Manual page 35

Notes
•
The ValueJet ink cassettes are developed in such a way that miss-insertion is not possible. For
each colour, a different design is used, i.e., fins are placed at the outside of each cassette, at
different locations, depending on the ink colour used.
Result: The operation panel displays "Ink Refill **%", and the initial ink replenishment starts.
•
The ink replenishment takes about five minutes. Initial ink replenishment and pause operation are
repeated during initial filling.
•
After the ink replenishment is completed, when "100%" is displayed, the operation panel displays
"Paper End".

•
If this is the case, perform two or three head cleanings, and check the results.
•
If the quality of the printed image did not improve after performing the head cleanings, leave the
printer idle for more than one hour. After that, perform another head cleaning and check the
printed image. If the quality still did not improve, contact your local MUTOH dealer.
Notes
• Only use Mutoh original ink for ValueJet printers.
This printer is fine tuned for genuine ink cassettes. In case of using non genuine ink cassettes,
notice the following :
o Printing might become blurred and the end of ink in the cassette might no longer be
correctly detected.
o The problems caused by the use of non original ink cassettes will not be covered by the
warranty and repair costs will be at the expense of the customer.
• When ink cassettes are moved from a cold place to a warm place, keep the ink cassettes unused
for three hours or more in the printing environment.
