Replacing Consumables
Handling of Used Consumables
If using the printer in an oce or other business,
dispose of used consumables in accordance with laws
and regulations, such as by contracting an industrial
waste disposal company.
If using the printer in a domestic situation, place these
in a plastic bag, then dispose of in accordance with
laws and regulations as well as regional ordinances,
and as directed by local government.
Replacing Ink Cartridges
If any of the ink colors remaining amount falls below
the minimum amount, printing will not be possible.
If an ink cartridge remaining amount falls below the
minimum amount, you can continue printing aer
replacing the ink cartridge.
If the remaining ink amount drops yet printing is
continued, then replacement of an ink cartridge
during printing may be required. When replacing ink
during a print job, you may see a dierence in color
depending on the drying conditions. When this is not
permissible, we recommend rst replacing the ink
cartridge with a new one before printing. e removed
ink cartridge can be installed again and used until the
remaining amount falls below the minimum amount.
However, if an ink cartridge with not much ink
remaining is removed and reinstalled, it may not be
usable because some ink is consumed to ensure the
reliability of the printer.
