(15) The ink is consumed too early
The causes of this phenomenon include the following:
1. Approx. 25% of whole ink in the ink tank (all colors) is decreased after ink filling at the initial setup
2. Approx. 20% of whole ink in the ink tank (all colors) is decreased after System Cleaning is implemented.
3. Up to 30% of the ink in the ink tank is reduced as the ink in the ink room flows into the buffer room by
forgetting closing the cap of the ink tank or the impact on the printer. (one color or multiple colors)
For details, see 3-5. Special Notes on Servicing (14) Phenomenon “Ink flows into the buffer room.”
4. Much amount of ink is decreased when a cartridge problem (breakage of head surface) occurs. (one color
or multiple colors) For details, see 3-5. Special Notes on Servicing (17) Broken Print Head Surface.”
(16) On Replenishing ink tanks with ink
Be careful not to fill the ink tanks with incorrect color ink. Once the incorrect color ink is replenished, color
mixture occurs. In this case, repair servicing is required.
(17) Broken Print Head Surface
If the print head surface is broken by hitting the surface on something or by scratching it at the print head
installation, the phenomena below occur. Be careful not to scratch the print head surface.
1) The ink amount is decreased rapidly.
2) The platen or cap part is smeared with ink.
3) Partial non-ejection of ink
4) A “Print head temperature too high” error occurs.
(18) “Cartridge Not Installed Completely” Error (Error Code: 1470)
At the initial setup, if pushing the joint lever is forgotten after the cartridge is installed, 1470 error occurs. If
1470 error occurs, check if the cartridge joint lever is securely pushed.
(19) Durability of Ink on Photo Paper
The new ink for G1000 series, G2000 series, and G3000 series does not support ChromaLife100. On photo
papers, the new ink can be discolored more easily. Depending on how the printouts are stored, discoloring
starts within one year after printing. (On plain paper, the color fastness is higher than on photo paper, and the
color remains unchanged over a year after printing in most cases.)
<Cause and prevention>
Discoloring occurs when the printed ink is exposed directly to the air.
When you receive user inquiries on discoloration of photo paper printouts, advise the users of the following to
keep the printed colors longer:
“Keep the printed photo papers in an album or plastic bag, etc. to avoid them from exposed to the air.”
