Important:
This printer has a remaining ink warning system.
Information about the available amount of ink in
one pack is recorded in the chip unit supplied with
a new ink pack. This information is written to the
printer when the chip unit is mounted on the
printer.
The ink remaining warning system estimates the
remaining ink based on the ink usage conditions
and the information written to the printer about
the available amount of ink in one pack, and then
displays a message.
To maintain the accuracy of this system, replace
the chip unit and refill the ink as soon as possible
once the remaining ink is 70 mm or less from the
bottom of the ink tank.
Writing the information about available amount of
ink in one ink pack when a chip unit is installed on
the printer is called “charging”.
After charging, the chip unit that was mounted on the
printer is no longer needed. If you replace it with the
chip unit attached to a new ink pack, charging will be
done automatically when required.
Installing 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.
