Replacing Procedure
When you need to replace a FINE cartridge, follow the procedure below.
Important
Handling FINE cartridge
Do not touch the electrical contacts
may not print properly if you touch them.
If you remove a FINE cartridge, replace it immediately. Do not leave the machine with the FINE
cartridge removed.
Use a new FINE cartridge for replacement. Installing a used FINE cartridge may cause the nozzles to
clog.
Furthermore, with such a FINE cartridge, the machine will not be able to inform you when to replace
the FINE cartridge properly.
Once a FINE cartridge has been installed, do not remove it from the machine and leave it out in the
open. This will cause the FINE cartridge to dry out, and the machine may not operate properly when
it is reinstalled. To maintain optimal printing quality, use a FINE cartridge within six months of first
use.
Note
If a FINE cartridge runs out of ink, you can print with either color or black FINE cartridge, in
whichever ink remains, only for a while. However the print quality may be reduced compared to when
printing with both cartridges. We recommend to use a new FINE cartridge in order to obtain optimum
qualities.
Even when printing with one ink only, print with leaving the empty FINE cartridge installed. If either of
the color FINE cartridge or black FINE cartridge is not installed, an error occurs and the machine
cannot print.
For information on how to configure this setting, see
Color ink may be consumed even when printing a black-and-white document or when black-and-
white printing is specified.
Both color ink and black ink are also consumed in the standard cleaning and deep cleaning of the
print head, which may be necessary to maintain the performance of the machine. When ink runs out,
replace the FINE cartridge immediately with a new one.
