TM-J2000/J2100
The default is selected by memory switch 3-1.
When an ink near-end is detected, the INK OUT light blinks. It is possible to print approximately
20,000 characters using Font B with print control mode set to economy printing from the time an
ink near-end is detected to the time an ink end is detected. However, the value is only a reference
value; it depends on such environmental factors as printing data and the timing of head cleaning.
Therefore, replace an old ink cartridge with a new one when an ink near-end is detected.
Two parts of a TM-J2100 (two-color printing model) ink cartridge are combined, and the
presence of the cartridge is detected by one detector. Therefore, both of the following states are
the same.
Bit 2 of Ink ASB Status A
Bit 3 of Ink ASB Status A
Ink ASB Status A: TM-J2000 (single-color) does not support bit 3.
Ink ASB Status B: TM-J2000 (single-color) does not support bits 0 and 1.
