Empty the Ink Waste Tray

Introduction
The waste tray is located below the Maintenance Station. It accumulates ink that has
dripped from the printheads or ink waste that results from a purge when performing
Printhead Maintenance or Swabbing the Printheads. 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, when needed. When you perform Printhead
Maintnance, 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 1.5
liters.
