• These are only rough estimates. Fewer pages are printed if many normal and full print head cleanings
are done after the maintenance alert.
• SC 992 (Ink Collector Tank Full Error) appears if no maintenance procedures are done. The printer
cannot be used once SC992 has appeared. The ink collector tank must be replaced before the printer
can be used.
Flushing Unit
During a long print job, the machine flushes all the nozzles with a very small amount of ink at 15 second
intervals. The ink flushed from the nozzles goes through the slots of the flushing gate [1] into a sump below.
This keeps the nozzles clear and in good working condition.
The flushing gates [1] and the ink collector sump (below the gate) are located on the left side of the printer.
• The sump is not connected to the ink collector tank. Ink flushed into the sump remains there.
• The sump of the collection unit should never fill to capacity for the service life of the printer.
• The flushing gate and sump should never require replacement.
