Waste Ink Absorbers - Canon QY8-1360-000 Service Manual

Part 5: Maintenance

4.3 Waste Ink Absorbers

If you are replacing the waste ink absorber (and/or waste ink optimizer absorber)
because of a waste ink alarm or waste-ink full error, replace both top and bottom
absorbers together. Also replace the absorbers for the maintenance jets. In other
cases, replace both top and bottom absorbers if possible even when there is
comparatively little waste ink. For various manufacturing reasons, several different
materials are used for the waste ink absorbers. If you replace only one of the
absorbers, the top and bottom may be of different materials, which could result in
problems. (All service parts absorbers are of the same material. Differences in
materials are visually apparent.)
Clean the absorber cover if necessary.
Be sure to reset the EEPROM when you replace the waste ink absorbers. If you do not
reset the EEPROM, the waste ink alarm or waste ink full error will not be cancelled.
See "Part 3: 3.8.2 Resetting EEPROM data" (page 3-22) for details of how to reset the
EEPROM.
