❏ Check the amount of ink remaining:
If ink is expended during printing, printing can be
resumed once the affected cartridge has been
replaced. However, when replacing ink during a
print job, you may see a difference in color
depending on the drying conditions. If you know
that the print job will be a large one, we recommend
that you use new cartridges to replace those that are
running low before you start. The old cartridges can
be reinserted and used at a later date.
Ink level is shown by an icon. U “Understanding
the Display” on page 21
Replacing Ink Cartridges U “Replacement
procedure” on page 118
❏ Shaking spot color inks
Spot color ink must be removed and shaken once
every 24 hours. Although a message is displayed in
the control panel 24 hours after the inks were last
removed, we recommend that they be removed and
shaken before the start of work.

❏ Print Check Pattern
Print a check pattern to check for clogged nozzles.
Perform head cleaning if parts of the pattern are
faint or missing.

Saving media settings
Basic setting flow
To use new media, configure its settings in advance
according to the media characteristics. Media setting
banks store the following:
❏ Setting Name
❏ Platen Gap
❏ Auto Media Adjust
❏ Media Adjust
❏ Heating & Drying
❏ Advanced Settings (Media Suction, Media Tension,
etc.)
During general use, follow the flow below to configure
settings. However, for some types of media, you need to
manually configure Media Adjust in Step (2) or change
the values specified in Advanced Settings. See the
following for more information.
Target media U “Recommended Media Settings” on
page 178
Advanced settings U “Customize Settings” on
page 145
(1) Setting Name
(2) Auto Media Adjust
You can automatically perform Feed Adjustment and
Head Alignment by one operation.
(3) Heating & Drying
Set to the temperature appropriate for the media.
If you have changed printing conditions after saving
media settings, reconfigure media settings.
Reconfiguring settings requires only either Feed
Adjustment or Head Alignment in Media Adjust,
enabling you to complete settings at short times. For
details, see:
