Ink Collector Ink Level Sensor - Ricoh J012 Service Manual

6.6.10 INK COLLECTOR INK LEVEL SENSOR

The ink collector ink level sensor [1] is a "smart" reflective photosensor.
The photosensor measures the changes in the density of the ink materials in the tank. This
lets the printer know when the tank is full.
A prompt tells the operator when the printer needs maintenance as soon as this sensor
detects the near-full condition. After the near-full alert prompt appears, the printer is allowed
to do up to 200 prints
These are only rough estimates. Fewer pages are printed if many normal and full
print head cleanings are done after the maintenance alert.
SC 992 (Ink Collector Tank Full Error) appears if no maintenance procedures are
done. The printer cannot be used once SC992 has appeared. The ink collector tank
must be replaced before the printer can be used.
