Caution:
❏ During maintenance, wear protective
clothing, including protective eyewear, gloves,
and a mask.
If ink, waste ink, or cap cleaning liquid comes
into contact with your skin or enters your
eyes or mouth, immediately take the
following actions.
❏ If fluid adheres to your skin, wash it off
using large volumes of soapy water. If you
notice any reaction developing in the
affected area, consult with a qualified
physician immediately.
❏ If ink gets into your eyes, wash them out
immediately with water. Failure to
observe this precaution could result in
bloodshot eyes or mild inflammation.
Consult with a qualified physician if any
other problems should develop.
❏ If fluid enters your mouth, consult with a
physician as soon as possible.
❏ If swallowed, do not induce vomiting.
Consult with a physician as soon as
possible. If vomiting is induced, vomited
material may enter the windpipe, which
is dangerous.
❏ Store ink packs, waste ink, and cap cleaning
liquid in a location out of reach of children.
❏ Remove the paper from the printer before
proceeding.
❏ Never touch the belts, circuit boards, or any parts
that do not require cleaning. Failure to observe
this precaution could result in malfunction or
reduced print quality.
❏ Do not use anything other than the supplied or
consumable cleaning stick. Other types of stick
that produce lint will damage the print head.
❏ Always use fresh cleaning sticks. Re-using sticks
can make stains even harder to remove.
❏ Do not touch the tips of the cleaning sticks. Oil
from your hands could damage the print head.
Maintenance
❏ Do not use anything other than the cap cleaning
liquid specified to clean the caps. Using anything
else could result in malfunction or reduced print
quality.
❏ Touch a metallic object before starting work to
discharge any static electricity.

Refilling ink

control panel screen, immediately do the following
two points.
❏ Prepare an ink pack of the appropriate color.
❏ Check the remaining ink level, and if it is 50 mm
or less from the bottom of the ink tank, replace
the chip unit and refill the ink.

Important:
This printer is equipped with a remaining ink
warning system. Information about the available
amount of ink in one pack is recorded in the chip
unit supplied with a new ink pack. By installing a
new chip unit on the printer, this information is
written to the printer.
The warning system for remaining ink estimates
the remaining ink based on the information
written to the printer for one pack of ink and the
ink usage conditions, and then displays a
message. To maintain the accuracy of this system,
you must replace the chip unit and refill the ink as
soon as possible once the remaining ink is 50 mm
or less from the bottom of the ink tank.
