(3)    Remaining ink detection 

As these products are CISS models, the volume of the ink replenished are managed by users, and the   

printer may not detect the remaining ink level properly depending on the replenished ink volume. 

Therefore,   

the specifications below are adopted. 

 
<< Specifications: To disable the remaining ink detection >> 

1)  Fully fill all the ink tanks with initial ink at the set up. 

 

2)  No ink error occurs in any one of the color ink tanks   

 

among Black, Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow. 

 

3)  Shifting to the user’s visual check is announced.

 

 

 

4)  Replenish ink tanks with ink freely. 

 

5)  Press and hold the 

Start

 button (

Stop

 button for the G1000 series), and the remaining ink detection 

will be disabled at the same time as the release of the error. 

 

6)  The remaining ink level is visually checked by the customer. 

 

<< Specifications: To use the remaining ink detection function after ink is replenished >> 

1)  Fully fill all the ink tanks with initial ink at the set up. 

 

2)  No ink error occurs in any one of the color ink tanks among Black, Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow. 

 

3)  Shifting to the user’s visual check is announced. 

 

4)  Replenish all colors of the ink tanks with ink to the point of the ink upper limit line. 

 

5)  In order to generate no ink error continuously, press and hold the 

Start

 button (

Stop

 button for the 

G1000 series) for five seconds or more. (The counter is reset, and the detection is continuously 
performed.) 

 

Note: If all colors of the ink tanks are replenished with ink to the point of the ink upper limit line, the printer 
 

cannot detect the remaining ink level properly. 

 

(4)    How to Replace the Cartridges 

How to replace the cartridge (print head) is non-public to users, and it is replaced in the following two 
special modes: 

 

< How to replace the cartridge (print head) in the user mode > 

1)  Open the scanner unit cover (top cover for the G1000 series) with the printer on (no error). 

 

2)  Press and hold the Stop button for five seconds or more. 

 

3)  The carriage moves to the far left of the printer.
