Change Color Mode (SC-S70600
series only)
The printer consumes ink periodically for auto
maintenance. When spot color ink printing is not
performed for longer than a specified period of time,
install a Cleaning cartridge instead of a spot color ink
using the Change Color Mode function, reducing
consumption of spot color ink. However, this function
is not available in
8 Color (Fixed)
mode.
To restart spot color ink printing, return to the color
mode for spot color ink.
Perform
Change Color Mode
on the control panel. The
required time varies depending on the specified color
mode, but it takes up to approximately 1 hour.
The following shows the contents of the
Change Color
Mode
function as well as the type and the required
number of cartridges to execute the function.

Important:
If the period in which the spot color inks are not
used is shorter than the recommended periods
shown below, we do not recommend that you
change the color mode because ink consumption
increases when the color mode is changed.
