CAUTION
In case performing the reset from the control
panel, 3 kinds of values mentioned in the table
above will be cleared. Therefore, it is necessary
to change 2 waste ink counters at the same
time.

On the other hand, in case of performing the
reset from the program, since counter A or B
can be cleared separately, waste ink counter can
be replaced individually. However, under the
normal environment, since big difference in the
waste ink quantity from counter A and B(in other
words, right and left heads) does not occur, it is
recommended to replace the waste ink absorber
and reset at the same time.
