Replacing the Waste Ink Bottle

The printer uses the waste ink counter to track waste ink and displays a message when the counter reaches the
warning level. If you replace the waste ink bottle when a message notifies you that it is time to do so, the counter is
automatically reset. To replace the bottle before this message is displayed, perform Replace Waste Ink Bottle from
the set up menu.
❏ When a message is displayed indicating the time to replace the waste ink bottle is approaching
Prepare a new waste ink bottle as soon as possible. When you want to replace the waste ink bottle at this stage,
such as due to night operations, select Replace Waste Ink Bottle from the setup menu, and then replace the
bottle. If you replace it without selecting Replace Waste Ink Bottle, the waste ink counter will not operate
correctly.
❏ When a message is displayed indicating it is time to replace the waste ink bottle
Replace the waste ink bottle with a new bottle immediately.
