 Monitoring of cartridge error
No. Item
1 Cartridge error check
2 LED control when an
error occurs
3 Supply valve control
when an error occurs
Since all 8 cartridges are control cartridges except when the 4-color ink set is used
when 6-color ink set is used
to LOCAL mode.
 Monitoring of ink system error
The ink system are checked for any error periodically (every 30 ms), and machine operation is limited according to
the error, if detected. The table below shows the possible errors and the limitations on machine operation.

 A cartridge error is periodically checked (every 30 ms).
 Select the supply cartridge in taking into account the error status and the amount of remaining ink.
 The LED (blue) lights up to indicate that the supply cartridge is now being controlled.
 The LED (red) lights up or blinks to indicate that the cartridge must or should be replaced.
 The valve for the cartridge where the LED (blue) is lit opens when the instruction to open the valve is issued.
 When an error occurs in a supply cartridge while the valve is open (during printing or
cleaning), the valve switches to the other cartridge which can supply ink, if any, to continue
machine operation. If a supply cartridge is removed, printing or cleaning will be stopped and
the machine will return to LOCAL mode.
, printing or cleaning is stopped when an error occurs and the machine returns
