the main tank cover (tube valve lever) before replacing the carriage. If you forget to open the main tank
cover (tube valve lever) (the same is true on the case the main tank cover (tube valve lever) is closed on
the way),
System Cleaning
is required.
(6) Ink Absorber Replacement
The following replacement methods are available:
Whole replacement: All the ink absorbers are replaced. The printable pages after the replacement are
15000 pages. (The time required for the replacement is approx. 30 minutes).
Partial replacement: Two pieces of absorbers are replaced. The printable pages after the replacement are
11000 pages. (The time required for the replacement is approx. 3 minutes).
Note: In the partial replacement, set the ink absorber counter value to 30%.
Depending on the usage, select the appropriate replacement method.
(7) System Cleaning
System Cleaning
is a function of replacing ink when the bubbles, and air have gotten mixed in with the
tube, therefore, an enormous amount of ink is consumed.
System Cleaning
can be executed from the
printer driver or the printer’s properties,
however, note that a large amount of ink is consumed, and that
you should reduce the use of
System Cleaning
as the ink absorber may be full by just performing
System
Cleaning
several times.
(
System Cleaning
consumes an enormous amount of ink at one time, therefore,
the waste ink amount increases by approx. 30 % of the total. This may cause the field claims “the ink is
consumed too early” or “The Waste Ink Absorber Full error occurs early.”)
< Rough timing of the
System Cleaning
operation >
(1) When the print quality problem such as non-ejection of ink is not solved even after normal cleaning is
performed twice and deep cleaning is performed once.
(2) When the ink filled in the tube flows backward into the tank side (the air has entered the tube) as you
forgot to open the main tank cover when replacing the cartridge.
(3) When the initial setup is performed without replenishing the ink on arrival.
(If the
Stop
button is not pressed and held and left as it is after the initial setup is performed without
replenishing the ink, the cartridge surface may be clogged with ink, therefore, perform
System
Cleaning
as soon as possible).
There are the following two methods of
how to perform
System Cleaning
:
(1) Use
Utilities
in the driver. (G1000
series, G2000 series and G3000
series)
(2) Use the operation panel. Press
and hold the
Stop
button, and release the button after the power lamp blinks five times (G2000 series and
G3000 series).Use the operation panel. Press and hold the
Stop
button, and release the button after the
Alarm lamp blinks five times (G2000 series and G3000 series).
NOTE:
When executing
System Cleaning
, select
All Colors
in order to reduce the waste ink amount.
