3-1 Replacing the Ink Cartridges

If ink runs out during printing

If ink runs out during printing, a warning beep sounds and the screen shown in the figure appears.
Replace the ink cartridge. Ignoring the message and continuing printing without replacing the ink may adversely affect
image quality, resulting in faintness or other problems.
The "___" for the ink that has run out flashes.
The number indicates the number of the ink
cartridge.

at the locations shown in the figure.
Replacing Ink (When Set to the [STOP] Mode)

The behavior that occurs when it becomes necessary to replace ink while printing is in progress differs according to whether the
selection for [EMPTY MODE] under [INK CONTROL] is set to [CONT.] or to [STOP]. (The default setting is [STOP].)
When Set to [STOP] (Pause)
[STOP] causes operation to pause immediately when ink needs to be replaced. Operation resumes when ink is replaced. Note,
however, that the colors of an image in progress may no longer match perfectly if the unit is allowed to remain paused for two
or three hours before resuming printing.
When Set to [CONT.] (Continue Printing)
Select this when ink cannot be replaced immediately while printing in progress, such as during unattended operation at night.
When the machine is set to [CONT.], an alarm sounds approximately 1 m
pausing. Because printing continues with only a small amount or remaining ink, the printed ink may be faint. As a general guide,
about 1 m 2 of printing is possible with the remaining ink, but the amount of ink used varies greatly depending on the image.
Printing can be continued only for the data for which printing is currently in progress. The machine stops when it finishes
outputting one image.
