7. SPECIAL NOTES ON SERVICING

7-1. Resetting the Main and Platen Waste Ink Counters
The counters for the main waste ink absorber and the platen waste ink absorber can be reset
separately. At waste ink absorber replacement, using the iP2200 / iP1600 / iP1200 service tool,
reset the applicable waste ink counter(s). (When both the main and platen waste ink absorbers are
replaced, reset both the main and platen waste ink counters.)
If an error has occurred in the printer, the service tool cannot be used as it is. To use the service tool,
set the printer in the special mode, following the "special mode setting procedures" in 4. SERVICE
MODE.
<Waste ink absorber replacement procedures>
1. Error check
At a waste ink full error (95% or full), identify which waste ink absorber is full, the main or the
platen, using the iP2200 / iP1600 / iP1200 service tool's EEP-ROM INFORMATION, Dd or Ds
values, as the error itself does not indicate which waste ink absorber is full. (See APPENDIX 2,
iP2200 / iP1600 / iP1200 SERVICE TOOL, for details). Then, replace the applicable waste ink
absorber.
- Dd: Main waste ink absorber amount (120,080 mg at 95% full, 126,400 mg at full)
- Ds: Platen waste ink absorber amount (17,955 mg at 95% full, 18,900 mg at full)
2. Resetting the replaced waste ink absorber counter
- At main waste ink absorber replacement:
In the iP2200 / iP1600 / iP1200 service tool CLEAR WASTE INK COUNTER section,
click MAIN to reset the main waste ink counter value.
- At platen waste ink absorber replacement:
In the iP2200 / iP1600 / iP1200 service tool CLEAR WASTE INK COUNTER section,

7-2. Servicing in Asia
- Elimination of Major Component Connectors on the Logic Board Ass'y -
In the models (iP2200, iP1600, and iP1200), the PE sensor, ASF sensor, and LF encoder sensor are
soldered to the logic board ass'y; thereby, the connectors which were used in prior models are
eliminated.
<Special notes on servicing>
In replacing the logic board ass'y, remove the solder from the PE sensor, ASF sensor, and LF
encoder sensor cable connections, and re-solder them to the replaced logic board ass'y.
