1 Status indicators
The status of the chip unit and the indicators
that estimate and display the amount of ink is
shown as follows.
:
It is estimated that there is enough
ink in the ink tank to print with no
problems.
The number of indicator levels
decreases according to the
estimated amount of ink.
:
The amount of ink is estimated to
be low.
Prepare a new ink pack.
:
The estimated amount of ink is near
its limits. Check the amount of ink,
and replace the chip unit and refill
the ink with one pack of ink if the
remaining ink is 70 mm or less from
the bottom of the ink tank. If the
remaining ink is more than 70 mm
from the bottom of the ink tank,
continue to use the printer until it is
below 70 mm before replacing and
refilling.
:
Printing has stopped because the
estimate amount of ink has reached
its limits.
Replace the chip unit and refill the
ink with one pack of ink.
The bottom of the indicators changes according
to the status of the chip unit, as shown below.
:
A chip unit for automatic charging
*
is mounted.
When the estimated amount of ink
starts to run out, a low ink warning
does not occur. Refill the ink with
one pack of ink if the remaining ink
is 70 mm or less from the bottom of
the ink tank.
:
(When flashing)
The chip for automatic charging
*
that was mounted has been removed.
Lowering the lock levers displays
the normal icon.
The chip unit you removed is as
good as new.
:
Automatic charging cannot be done
because the lock levers are raised.
Lower the lock levers.

:
This refers to one of the following
statuses.
Reposition the chip unit, or replace
it with a correct chip unit.
❏
The chip unit has been mounted
incorrectly.
❏
A chip unit for an ink pack of a
different color than the ink tank is
mounted.
❏
A chip unit for an ink pack that is
incompatible with this printer is
mounted.
* When a chip unit is mounted on the printer, the
information about the available amount of ink in the ink
pack that is registered to the new chip unit is automatically
written to the printer. Writing the chip unit information to
the printer is called “charging”.
When charging is complete, the indicator levels become
full, and the icon for the charge status turns gray. After
charging, the chip unit that was mounted on the printer is
no longer needed.
Charging occurs automatically when the indicator level
reaches 0 if you remove a chip unit that is no longer
needed and replace it with a new chip unit.
Mounting a new chip unit on the printer to do automatic
charging is called “reserving”.
Reserving can be done at any time if the indicator's level
for the estimated amount of ink is between 1 and 6.
