Procedure For Chip Unit Replacement And Ink Refills - Epson SureColor F7070 User Manual

Important:
This printer has a remaining ink warning system. Use the following procedure for replacement
and ink refills to replace the chip unit and refill the ink correctly.
After the service engineer attaches the ink tank, replace the chip unit and refill the ink when
remaining ink is about 70 mm (2.8 inches) from the bottom of the ink tank.
This system does not directly detect the amount of ink remaining in the ink tank. Instead, the
amount of ink remaining is estimated based on the ink usage conditions and displayed as a
message. To maintain the accuracy of this system, you must replace the chip unit and refill the
ink as soon as possible once the remaining ink is 70 mm (2.8 inches) or less from the bottom of
the ink tank.
