Ink and Make-up Cartridge Replacement
WARNING: Protective equipment such as gloves and glasses must be worn when
this procedure is carried out. Physical contact with printer ink or
make-up can cause skin or eye damage.
CAUTIONS: (1) If the make-up cartridge is not replaced when needed, the make-up
module will empty and the ink viscosity will go outside the printer’s
operating limits.
(2) If the make-up cartridge is not replaced, head flushing will not be carried
out when the printer is shut down. Ink may be deposited on the print head
components and dry causing a blockage.
Note: The used ink and make-up cartridges contain residual chemicals which are hazardous
to the environment. Local waste disposal regulations must be followed to safely
dispose of the used cartridges.
When the ink or make-up cartridges need to be replaced, the messages ‘Add Ink Cartridge’ or
‘Add Make-up Cartridge’ will appear on the TouchPanel status tab. If these messages are ignored,
the messages ‘Ink Level Below Minimum’ and ‘Make-up Level Below Minimum’ will appear. Also,
the amber alert light and the ink or make-up level alert light on the printer cabinet will illuminate.
When the ink or make-up cartridges require replacing immediately, the messages ‘Change Ink
Cartridge - Empty’ or ‘Change Make-up Cartridge - Cartridge Empty’ will appear on the
TouchPanel status tab. Also, the red alert light will illuminate and the ink or make-up light on the
printer cabinet will start flashing. If the ink or make-up cartridge is not replaced at this stage, the
printer will stop working and will not continue printing until a new cartridge is fitted.
Tools required: 6mm Hex Key.
