Replacing Empty Ink Cartridges - Rena XPS-80 User Manual

5.12 Replacing empty ink cartridges

When the message
appears, the printer has calculated that cartridge C1 of unit U1 is
empty. This calculation is based on dot counting and is only accu-
rate if the following rules are strictly adhered to:
1. When a new cartridge is inserted, the ink counter that
corresponds to the cartridge being replaced must be re-
set to 100%. Use the menu item "Cart. Reset:" to reset
the ink counter to %100.
2. If cartridges are removed, for cleaning, storing, etc.., they
must be placed back into the exact location (same pen
stall) they were originally removed from. To accomplish
this, label the ink cartridge positions before removing
them.
3. The menu item "Ink Consumpt:", found under "Special
Funct.:", must be set to "exac" (exact).
Note: Even if the above rules are strictly adhered to, the
counter may not be 100% accurate. It is recommended that
when the ink counter, for any cartridge, is less than %10, the
operator should closely monitor the images being printed.
You can also recognize an empty cartridge (only type C6131A
Black) by the color code on the cartridge itself. If the panel in the
center has changed color completely from green to black, the car-
tridge is empty.
Observe the notes on "Handling the ink cartridges", in Section
2.2, as well as the directions given by the cartridge manufacturer.
See Section 5.1 for detailed instructions on inserting ink cartridges.
