6.1.13 Ink Absorber Box, Ink Absorber Felts, and PF Encoder Disk
Note: Do not remove the ink absorber box unless it needs to be replaced.
Note: When replacing the ink absorber box, pull out the main drain tubes from the maintenance
unit. A spare ink absorber box is supplied together with two main drain tubes.
(1) Pull out the main drain tubes from the joints on the maintenance unit.
Note: Pinch the ends of the main drain tubes with a clip in order to prevent drained ink
from leaking and the machine from getting stained with leaked ink.
Note: Do not place the main drain tubes that have been pulled out on the main PCB. If the
PCB is stained with leaked ink, wipe it off with a dry cloth.
(2) Pull the ink absorber box (together with the main drain tubes) up and out of the lower
cover.
(3) Immediately set a new ink absorber box and connect its new drain tubes to the joints on the
maintenance unit and the ink absorber box.
Note: If the ink absorber box or its surroundings are stained with ink, wipe them off with a
cloth.
(4) Take the ink absorber felts (upper and lower) out of the lower cover.
Assembling Notes:
• Do not connect new main drain tubes at an angle. The tubes connected at an angle come
off easily, resulting in ink leakage. After connection, check that there is no ink leakage.
• If you replace the ink absorber box (without replacing the main PCB), you also need to
replace the flushing box (see Section 6.1.14 ) and reset both the purge and flushing
counters as specified in Chapter 7, Section 7.5 .
