1.1.5 600cc Cartridge
 Outline
A 600cc-cartridge can be used for this machine.
It is not necessary to change the mechanism etc. Only you have to do is to insert it into the ink slot as is the case with
the normal cartridge.
In addition, as the control is changed to the dedicated one for 600cc-cartridge, the recognition method for the remain-
ing amount of ink is also changed. Therefore, the operation will be changed. Here, the basic principle of controlling
the remaining amount of ink is mainly explained. (For the details of operation, refer to the user's manual as it is a
user's level thing.)
 Operating Principle
 Setting cartridge
1 Actually measure the weight of an empty cartridge (without the IC chip/ink pack).
2 Set up the 600cc-cartridge.
Put the ink pack in the empty cartridge and attach the IC chip.
3 Set the 600cc-cartridge in the ink slot.
4 The main body recognizes that it is a "600cc-cartridge" from the IC chip.
5 Enter the "CASE WEIGHT", the empty cartridge weight measured in the Step 1 above.
The LCD is changed to prompt you to enter the "CASE WEIGHT" for the slot on which the 600cc-car-
tridge was set.
This will be the value to calculate the remaining amount of ink from total weight of the cartridges set sub-
sequently.
 Recognizing remaining amount of ink
* Operable "After ink filling", "After Ink level Low occurs", "After Ink level end occurs" and
"When weight has not been entered".
1 Perform "CART WEIGHT ".
2 Pull the 600cc-cartridge from the slot and actually measure total weight of the 600cc-cartridge.
3 Enter the actually measured value of the Step 2) above in the "WEIGHT". (*1)
4 The amount of consumption by normal printing, cleaning, etc. is counted in the F/W depending on the number
of shots and the rotating number of pumps, and they are taken from the "WEIGHT" of the Step 3) above.
 Judgment of ink near end or ink end
1 If the subtracted value of the amount of ink consumption calculated by the F/W described above becomes
"60cc" and below, the status of the cartridge is in the "Ink Level Low" and it is recognized as an unusable car-
tridge once. You cannot perform printing.
2 Pull the relevant cartridge out, measure total weight of the cartridge and enter the actual measured value. (*1)
3 If the value subtracted "CASE WEIGHT" initially entered from the actual measured value is 30cc and above,
you can use it again.
-- If the value is between 25cc and 30cc, you can use it again, however, it is recognized as "Ink near end" and
you cannot perform cleaning nor ink filling operation.
-- If the value is 25cc and below, it is recognized as "Ink Level end" and you cannot use it.
4 When the remaining amount of ink count inside becomes 30cc and below, it is recognized as "Ink near end"
and you cannot perform cleaning nor ink filling operation.
5 When the remaining amount of ink count inside becomes 25cc and below, it is recognized as "Ink Level end". The
cartridge becomes unusable and you cannot perform printing operation.
6 Actually measure the cartridge and enter the value in the same way as the Step 2) above. (*1)
7 If the value by subtracting "CASE WEIGHT"and entered early is 25cc and above, it is recognized as "Ink
near end"and it will become usable again (printing is only available).
If it is 25cc and below, it becomes "Ink Level end" and it will be an unusable cartridge.
(*1): The condition for entering the actually measured value is to pull the cartridge. (Because it shall be measured
actually.)
