Cannot start cleaning because
the Maintenance Box is full.
You can continue printing until
replacement is required.
The Maintenance Box does not have enough capacity to store ink discharged in print
head cleaning, and therefore cannot perform cleaning. To perform cleaning, replace
the Maintenance Box with a new one. The removed Maintenance Box may be
reinstalled after cleaning is completed.
