Empty the Ink Waste Tray

Introduction
The waste tray is located below the printer carriage and Maintenance Station. It accumu-
lates ink that has dripped from the printheads. During Maintenance, the ink drops onto
a sloped drain plate at the base of the Maintenance Station and drains from there into
the waste tray.
When to do
Check the waste tray periodically and empty it, when needed. When you perform Print-
head Maintenance, it is a good practice to visually examine the sloped drain plate at the
bottom of the Maintanance Station. If ink starts to pool on the drain plate it is time to
empty the waste tray (if you can see ink it means the the waste tray is full and is now
backing up into the maintenance station). The capacity of the waste tray is approximately
1.4 liters.
