Important:
This printer has a remaining ink warning system.
Use the following procedure for replacement and
ink refills to replace the chip unit and refill the ink
correctly.
When you are using the ink of initial filling after the
service engineer attaches the ink tank, replace the
chip unit and refill the ink when remaining ink is
about 70 mm from the bottom of the ink tank.

ink remaining in the ink tank. Instead, the amount
of ink remaining is estimated based on the ink
usage conditions and displayed as a message. To

replace the chip unit and refill the ink as soon as
possible once the remaining ink is 70 mm or less
from the bottom of the ink tank.
