4.2.3.1 Replacing the Waste Ink Pads
To keep the printhead clean and maintain quality, the printer drains waste ink
away from the printhead surface and nozzles into the Waste Ink Pads. Once a
predetermined amount of waste ink has been drained, the printer displays the
"Maintenance Call 0100" message to indicate the pads are 99% full and then
displays the "Service Call 00000100" message to indicate the pads are
completely full and need to be replaced before printing can continue.
When the waste ink counter indicates the ink pads need to be
replaced, the following parts all need to be replaced at the
same time.
Waste Ink Pads
Pump Assembly
Cap Assembly
Head Cleaner

INIT. WASTE INK
