5.3.7 Protection Counter

This function enables you to check the current value for the protect counter A. The
protect counter A monitors the level of waste ink flown into the waste ink absorber. If
the wasted ink level excesses the limit, it will overflow into the printer. To avoid this,
the printer indicates "Maintenance Request" when the counter reaches to the limit and
stops accepting any data except for the power signal from the control panel. During the
repair service, you are required to replace the waste ink absorbers and reset the
protection counter. For the waste ink absorber replacement procedure, see
4.2.5"TRAY, ABSORBER ASSEMBLY Removal" on page -89. Note you can also
reset the protection counter by the panel operation.
