When you need to replace a FINE cartridge, follow the procedure below.
IMPORTANT
Handling FINE cartridge -
Do not touch the electrical contacts (A) or print head nozzle (B) on a FINE cartridge. The machine may not print properly if you touch them.If you remove a FINE cartridge, replace it immediately. Do not leave the machine with the FINE cartridge removed.
Use a new FINE cartridge for replacement. Installing a used FINE cartridge may cause the nozzles to clog.
Furthermore, with such a FINE cartridge, the machine will not be able to inform you when to replace the FINE cartridge properly.
Once a FINE cartridge has been installed, do not remove it from the machine and leave it out in the open. This will cause the FINE cartridge to dry out, and the machine may not operate properly when it is reinstalled. To maintain optimal printing quality, use a FINE cartridge within six months of first use.
REFERENCE
If a FINE cartridge runs out of ink, you can print with either color or black FINE cartridge, in whichever ink remains, only for a while. However the print quality may be reduced compared to when printing with both cartridges. We recommend to use a new FINE cartridge in order to obtain optimum qualities.
Even when printing with one ink only, print with leaving the empty FINE cartridge installed. If either of the color FINE cartridge or black FINE cartridge is not installed, an error occurs and the machine cannot print.
Color ink may be consumed even when printing a black-and-white document or when black-and-white printing is specified.
Both color ink and black ink are also consumed in the standard cleaning and deep cleaning of the print head, which may be necessary to maintain the performance of the machine. When ink runs out, replace the FINE cartridge immediately with a new one.
1. Make sure that the power is turned on, open the front cover (C), then open the paper output tray (D).
2. Open the paper output cover (E).
When the FINE cartridge holder moves to the replacement position, the head cover (F) OPENS AUTOMATICALLY.CAUTION
Do not hold the FINE cartridge holder to stop or move it forcibly. Do not touch the FINE cartridge holder until it stops completely.
IMPORTANT
The head cover will open automatically after you open the paper output cover. If you have closed the head cover while replacing a FINE cartridge, close the paper output cover, then open it again. Trying to force open the head cover with your hand may cause the machine to malfunction.
Do not touch the metallic parts or other parts inside the machine.
If the paper output cover is left open for more than 10 minutes, the FINE cartridge holder moves to the far right and the Alarm lamp lights. In this case, close the paper output cover, then open it again.
