Following photographs show the GOOD and BAD examples of how the waste ink tube should be when the Cap is
placed on the Waste ink tank or when the Maintenance unit (ink pan) is put back in the machine.
If the Waste ink tube is twisted or bent, it may rip, crack or unplugged and leak ink.
Also a large twist may cause the Waste ink tube to be pulled inside the machine, causing the Open/Close
movement of the Tray 1 to hit on the Waste ink tube and crack open the tube.
GOOD Example
Moulded lines of the Tube
The Waste ink tube stay clear of the Tray 1 and
stays in good condition.
The Tube comes outside the
machine when the Ink Pan
moves into the machine over
the BP Unit.
[ 12-17 ]
BAD Example
Moulded lines of the Tube
< Twisted >
The Tube goes inside the machine
when the Ink Pan moves into the
machine over the BP Unit.
When Tray 1 is opened or closed with the Tube
twisted inside the machine, the Tray 1 hits on the
Tube and eventually break the Tube and leak ink.
Large possibility of Waste ink tube being
damaged and the Tube eventually leaks ink.
