7. SPECIAL NOTES ON SERVICING

7-1. Resetting the Main and Platen Waste Ink Counters
The counters for the main waste ink absorber and the platen waste ink absorber can be reset
separately. At waste ink absorber replacement, using the iP1500 service tool, reset the applicable
waste ink counter(s). (When both the main and platen waste ink absorbers are replaced, reset both
the main and platen waste ink counters.)
If an error has occurred in the printer, the service tool cannot be used as is. To use the service tool,
set the printer to the special mode. (See page 7 for special mode setting procedures.)
<Waste ink absorber replacement procedures>
1. Error check
Set the printer to the special mode, and using the iP1500 service tool's EEP-ROM
INFORMATION, Dd or Ds values, identify which waste ink absorber is full, the main or the platen,
as the error itself does not indicate which waste ink absorber is full. (See APPENDIX 2, iP1500
SERVICE TOOL, for details).
- Dd: Main waste ink absorber amount (128,400 mg at 95% full, 135,200 mg at full)

the main waste ink counter value.
