Refilling Ink Tanks
When remaining ink cautions or errors occur, the message will appear on the LCD to inform you of the error.
In this state, the printer cannot print. Check the remaining ink level with the ink tank indicator on the front of
the printer. If the ink level is near the lower limit line (A), refill the ink tank.
Important
• If the function for notifying the remaining ink level (remaining ink level notification function) is enabled, •
resetting the remaining ink level count is required before refilling ink tanks up to the upper limit line.
If the remaining ink level count is reset when the ink tanks are not full, the printer cannot detect the ink
level correctly.
