2. Installation Printer Display Summary Operation Panel: Cartridge replacement indicator J027/J028/J029: J035: The printer shows a multi-level dynamic display that keeps the operator informed about the status of the ink levels in the tanks. The example below for Black (K) shows the progression in the display from full on the left to completely empty on the right.
Using the Operation Panel A software count determines when the ink cartridge is has less than 20% ink remaining. The 0% and Ink Out display begin flashing alternately at 3 sec. intervals. This is the near-end alert. When the cartridge is empty the machine issues the ink-end alert and printing stops. The operator can continue printing by pressing [Form Feed] on the operation panel.
2. Installation On the other hand, "Ink C.U. Space" in the machine's menu on the control panel displays the available storage space left in the ink collector unit. (It is reset to 100% if a new ink collector unit is installed.) Display Menu Summary Here is a summary of the function menus.

7. Energy Saving Recommendation We recommend that the default settings should be kept. If the customer requests that these settings should be changed, please explain that their energy costs could increase, and that they should consider the effects on the environment of extra energy use.
Paper Save Paper Save Effectiveness of Duplex/Combine Function Duplexing and the combine functions reduce the amount of paper used. This means that less energy overall is used for paper production, which improves the environment. • J027 model has no duplex function. Therefore, J027 model is not applicable in this section. 1.
7. Energy Saving 3. Duplex + Combine: • J027 model has no duplex function. Therefore, J027 model is not applicable in this section. Using both features together can further reduce paper volume by 3/4! To check the paper consumption, look at the total counter and the duplex counter. The total counter counts all pages printed.
