Waste Ink Absorbers
This model has a single ink absorber which absorbs waste ink as follows.
• Suction waste ink
Waste ink sucked from the cap
NOTE
• Maintenance jet waste ink
Waste ink from the test firing used to adjust the nozzle condition
• Ink detection waste ink
Waste ink fired to detect the presence of remaining ink during fax receipt
The amount of ink absorbed is counted as a total of all of these. When the counted
absorption levels reach 100%, the "CHECK PRINTER" message (error code ##342) will
be displayed, and printing will stop to allow the absorber to be changed. To clear the error,
it is necessary to replace the absorbers and to reset the waste ink absorption level counts. If
there is no other error at this time, any image in the memory will be output automatically.
The waste ink absorber should be replaced after this. For the method of resetting the waste
ink absorption level counts, see Page 1-50.
