2. Verify proper chip placement on bottle – relocate chip as necessary. While in
the BOTTLE INFO screen ensure all ink type matches (i.e. QiD, QxD or Qi-Pig).
The printer will not print unless ink type is the same for all 6 bottles.
3. Replace the refill bottle with a new one.
<color>: WARNING - INK RESERVOIR LOW!
Intermediate reservoir (fed by the ink refill bottle) has reached the ‘low’ limit (<30 ml).
Printing will only continue for only an additional 10 ml (typically for 10 – 25 minutes
depending on print pass mode used).
1. This is a normal operational error and usually occurs when the refill
bottle runs out of ink and ink is now being depleted from the intermediate
reservoir (when ink level falls below 30 ml).
2. If current refill bottle contains ink then reseat the refill bottle to ensure
ink is being supplied to ink system. Remove and replace ink refill bottle if
necessary.
3. This error will normally occur, for all 6 colors, if
the refill bottles have not been installed into a new
machine during the initial installation and printer
power is applied. If ink bottles have been loaded
and the ink level within the intermediate reservoir
appears to be more than 60% full (above the
reservoirs 30 ml level) this error should not be
displayed. The intermediate reservoir has a 52 ml
capacity.
[<color>] JOB PAUSED – INK RESERVOIR EMPTY!
Message normally appears after 10 ml ink buffer has been used (refill bottle was not
replaced in time); occurs between 10 and 30 minutes following the INK RESERVOIR
LOW error message.
NOTE:
This is typically a normal operational error and usually occurs when the refill
bottle level falls below 20 ml (error message
WARNING - INK RESERVOIR LOW!
has already been displayed and an additional 10 ml of ink has been used.
1. It is possible to have a fault within the printer hardware caused by improper
electrical contact between main board and the reservoir data board, a defective
reservoir data board, or a defective connector or wiring harness. Verify connectivity,
select
Utility Menu – Service Menu – Diagnostics Menu – Accessory Menu – Ink
Reservoir Test.
If bottles are installed and intermediate reservoir ‘appear’ to be about
60% full, then all logic levels should be a one (1). If a zero (0) is displayed and
intermediate reservoir is full of ink, then the data board is probably defective or weak;
i.e. difficulty sensing the Yellow or Light Magenta ink.
NOTE:
only authorized service providers should attempt to perform steps 2., 3., 4.,
or 5. Contact technical support for assistance.
