Chapter 8. Ink and Makeup Replenishment

8-4

8.1. Replenishing Ink

This section describes how to replenish ink in this unit. It also provides ink replenishment timing and
precautions.

(1) Overview

● Ink can be refilled when the remaining ink icon screen is positioned in a range where the cartridge bottle

can be replaced.

● Replenish the ink in the ink reservoir within 60 minutes (*1) after the warning [Ink Low Warning] occurs.

If the ink is not refilled, the unit will stop.

(*1) The specification differs depending on the ink type. See "4. Precautions" in the handling guidance

of each ink for details.

● When the ink is replenished, the warning is automatically reset.
● Ink can be refilled only while the power is ON.

* If the icon color is blue, the ink cartridge bottle cannot be replaced.

● If the ink level in the ink cartridge bottle is low, the level of the remaining makeup icon may suddenly

drop to the replaceable range. However, you can continue the operation as this is not a problem.
