Changing an ink Cartridge
The ink indicator on the Display flashes when the Ink Cartridge is getting low. Prepare
the new Ink Cartridge (option*), and replace it when “Empty XXXX (color)” is displayed.
Make sure to replace the Ink Cartridge indicated on the display.
Be careful not to get ink on your hands or clothing. Wash with soap if stained with
ink. You cannot wash away the stained ink on the material because the ink may
be absorbed into the fiber.
Do not replace cartridges while printing or head cleaning; is in operation it may
cause damage to your printer.
Do not disassemble the Ink Cartridge.
Replace the Maintenance Parts packed together with Cyan Ink Cartridge (380 cc
/180 cc), Magenta Ink Cartridge (380 cc) and White Ink Cartridge (380 cc) when
you open the new one. Clean the Caps and Wipers, replace the Wiper Cleaners,
Fan Filter, Roller Felts (4), Flushing Plate Sponge (top) and Flushing Plate Felt
(bottom) according to our maintenance schedule to maintain good print quality.
Replace them when you see the warning indicated on the display too. Print
quality may be damaged by insufficient cleaning, e.g. dirty printed materials, mis-
firing. See "6-1-2. Replacing the Wiper Cleaner and Cleaning the Caps / Wipers",
"6-1-3. Replacing Flushing Plate Sponge and Flushing Plate Felt", "6-1-4.
Replacing the Fan Filter", "6-1-5. Replacing the Roller Felts" and "6-1-6. Cleaning
the Encoder Strip".
To keep the best print result, your printer will show empty status for the color
cartridge that is empty. To keep print quality, a small amount of ink remains to
avoid damage to your printer.
1. Open the new Ink Cartridge.
Note: Pigments in the White Ink are sinking little by little all the time. Hold the
cartridge with both hands, upside down from the mounted position, and shake it in 1-
2 minutes so that the pigments inside can be mixed enough. Do it one by one.
