4.3.2 Cautions after replacing the waste ink absorber

After a waste ink-full error (warning) occurs and the waste ink absorber is replaced,
reset the waste ink counter in the Service Mode. (See "Part 3: 3.4 Service Mode" on page
3-18.)
NOTE
The waste ink absorber consists of three layers. When the printer is first
used, most of the waste ink is absorbed by the lower waste ink absorber
layer. The amount of waste ink in the upper layer of the waste ink
absorber rises as the waste ink amount increases.

When a waste ink-full error (warning) occurs, it can be assumed that the
printer has printed more sheets than its service life called for. However,
this also depends on how many times the cartridge has been replaced and
the usage conditions. When a color/photo BJ cartridge is used, more ink
is consumed due to head maintenance compared to a black BJ cartridge.
Therefore, the waste ink amount will also be more.
