4.4 Maintenance Procedures
To keep the printhead clean and maintain print quality, the printer
periodically flushes ink through the printhead, and the flushed ink
drains into one of two Waste Ink Boxes. Once a predetermined
amount of ink has drained into the Waste Ink Boxes, the printer
displays the service call error—“00000100.”
When the service call error occurs, you need to replace the following parts:
the Waste Ink Pads in the left and right Waste Ink Boxes
the Flushing Boxes (right and left)
the Pump Assembly
the Capping Assembly
the Head Cleaner Blade
In addition to replacing these parts, you also need to do the following:

Guide, as described in
