Replacing Ink
Cartridges
When ink needs to be
replaced/When ink gets low
When the Ink Check light is flashing, this
indicates that the ink level is low. If the ink is low,
you need to replace the ink cartridge as soon as
possible. You cannot continue to print even if
only one of the ink cartridges is expended. If an
ink cartridge runs out while printing, replace it
with a new one so the printer can continue to
print.
Confirming the ink cartridge
remaining
The remaining ink in the cartridges is always
displayed on the LCD panel.
See “Display” on page 13
You can check the accurate amount of ink
remaining in the Printer Status menu. You need to
check the amount of ink remaining before
printing a lot of data. If there is a low ink
cartridge, prepare a new one.
See “Using the Menu mode” on page 14

About ink cartridges
Be sure to use the following ink cartridges with
this printer.
Notes for handling the ink
cartridges
When INK LOW appears on the LCD panel,
replace the cartridges with a new one as soon
as possible to avoid ink to being expended
while printing.
Use up the ink cartridge within six months of
installation for best results.
Do not use an ink cartridge beyond the date
printed on the cartridge carton. If you use an
ink cartridge beyond the expiry date, it may
affect the print quality.
Store ink cartridges under the same condition
as the printer.
Do not touch the ink supply port or its
surrounding area. The ink may leak from it.
Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of
the ink cartridge. Doing so may affect normal
operation and printing.
Note:
When you replace the ink cartridges while the printer
is turned off, the remaining ink cannot be detected
correctly so the ink may become unusable before the
Ink Check light comes on and you cannot print
correctly. Follow the steps below to replace an ink
cartridge.
