Replacing ink tanks
Low ink warning
When ink is running low, the LCD will display <
BLACK INK LOW
>, <
COLOR INK LOW
>, or
<
COLOR/BLACK INK LOW
> warning you to have a new ink tank ready before the ink runs out.
When copying, photo printing, or printing faxes, if the machine stops printing when the warning
appears, you can continue printing by pressing [OK]. However, note that ink may run out (when
printing from a computer, printing does not stop even if this warning message appears).
You can check the current ink level at any time. (See page 127.)
NOTE
• If the low ink warning does not display even when ink runs low (see page 127), set <
LOW INK WARNING
>
to <
ON
>. (See page 172.)
When to replace an ink tank
In general, you will need to replace an ink tank when print quality deteriorates or printouts are
blank. However before replacing, refer to the flowchart on page 128 to check whether print quality
deterioration is due to another problem.
