Routine Maintenance
Replacing a FINE Cartridge
This section explains the way to confirm the ink status and the procedure to replace FINE
Cartridges.
When ink runs out or other errors occur, the
Alarm
lamp lights orange and an error code appears on
the LED. For details, see “An Error Code Is Displayed on the LED” on page 37.
When printing from your computer, error messages appear on your computer screen as well.
Getting the Ink Status Information
You can confirm the status of FINE Cartridges in the following two ways:

“With the Ink Lamps” on page 25
z
“With the Computer Screen” on page 26
Note
z
If there is no improvement with the quality of printing following such maintenance as Print Head
Cleaning, a FINE Cartridge is probably empty. When ink runs out, replace the FINE Cartridge. The
machine will not print properly if the wrong type of FINE Cartridge is used, or if it is installed in the
incorrect position.

For information on compatible FINE Cartridges, refer to the back cover of the
Quick Start Guide
.
Note
The ink level detector is mounted on the machine to detect the remaining ink level. The machine
considers as ink is full when a new FINE Cartridge is installed, and then starts to detect a
remaining ink level. If you install a used FINE Cartridge, the indicated ink level of it may not be
correct. In such a case, refer to the ink level information only as a guide.
