5.2 Replacing the Print Heads and Ink Cartridges
Checking the print heads and ink cartridges
The [Printer Information] tab can be used to check the print head replacement time and
how much ink is remaining in the ink cartridges.
A "warning mark" is displayed for a print head when its replacement time is near, and
for an ink cartridge when there is only a little ink remaining in the cartridge, to indicate
that the print head or ink cartridge needs to be replaced.

The print head and the ink cartridge replacement time are displayed on the

A "warning mark" is displayed when a replacement time is near, and a "replace-
ment mark"

For the print head, to maintain image quality, we recommend that you replace the
indicated print head with a new print head as soon as possible after a “warning
mark” is displayed.
