Adjustments
4.1.10 Other Functions of the Adjustment Program
Color Ink Counter Reset Function
This function initializes only the color ink consumption counter. The adjustment program cannot initialize the
color ink counter unless you perform the ink cartridge replacement operation (see Section 1.4.1.1) and the
EEPROM reset function (see Section 1.4.2). This function is required when the color ink cartridge is replaced
and you do not want to initialize the EEPROM.
Initial Black Ink Charging Function
This function is to forceably charge black ink into printer ink system. The function is required when
the printer is transported from the servicer to the customer. Since the black ink cartridge is not mounted on the
printer during transport, black ink initial charging is necessary for the customer. This initial charge function is
the same as the one the user performs when the printer is new.
Perform the initial ink charge operation using the adjustment program before sending the unit
back to the customer.
