3.6.1 Replacing ink cassettes
This section describes the replacement time and replacement method for the ink cassettes.
(1) Replacement time
A. When “[****] InkNearEnd” is displayed on the operation panel
• This message is displayed when there is a small amount of ink remaining in the ink cassette.
• When “[****] InkNearEnd” is displayed, the alarm buzzer sounds continuously.
• To stop the buzzer, press the [Enter] key.
• Replace with the new ink cassette.
B. When “[****] InkEnd” is displayed on the operation panel
• This message is displayed when there is no ink remaining in the ink cassette.
• When “[****] InkEnd” is displayed, the alarm buzzer sounds continuously.
• To stop the buzzer, press the [Enter] key.
• Immediately replace it with the new ink cassette.
Notes
• The display indicates which ink colour became low or ran out :
o K: Black
o C: Cyan
o M: Magenta
o Y: Yellow
• Only remove and insert ink cassettes at the time of replacement. Not doing so may result in
incorrect printing behaviour due to failures such as nozzle loss, or air which might come in the
ink tubes.
• If "Ink End" appears, it is not possible to print until you insert the new ink cassette.
• If there is no new ink cassette available, leave the empty ink cassette in the printer. Leaving the
printer without ink cassettes inside the ink cassette slots may result in head clogging.
