6-1-2. Refilling white ink
If
is displayed in the remaining ink volume indication window on the operation panel screen, refill the ink.
Agitate the white ink sufficiently to remove sediments before refilling it. Agitate the ink beforehand because it takes time.
<IMPORTANT>
Do not use ink not agitated sufficiently because doing so may deteriorate the durability of the printed matter or cause the head
not to eject ink-jet droplets. In cases where the printer malfunctions due to the use of ink not agitated sufficiently, you may be
liable for the cost of repairs even during the guarantee period.
Agitate ink by shaking the ink bottle.
Do not insert a bar or propeller into the ink bottle when agitating the ink because doing so causes foreign matter inclusion,
possibly resulting in printer failure.
<CAUTION>
Be sure to wear a pair of plastic gloves and protective glasses during the work operation.
Take care not to lose the IC stick that comes standard with the ink bottle.
Once you have refilled ink, you cannot print until you insert the IC stick.
Agitating white ink with an agitator
<IMPORTANT>
Be sure to install an agitator.
To choose from many types of agitators available, consult your dealer.
<TIPS>
When agitating the white ink, remove the IC stick from the refill ink bottle to prevent it from falling off.
(1)
Set the ink bottle to the agitator.
<IMPORTANT>
Securely fasten the ink bottle by means of a jig to prevent it from falling during agitation.
(2)
Perform agitation with reference to the manual of your agitator.
<TIPS>
The recommended agitation time differs depending on the ink stationary period and agitator performance.
