Replacing ink cartridges

To stop the buzzer, press the [Enter] key on the operation panel.

• This message is displayed when there is no ink remaining in the ink cartridge.
• The alarm buzzer sounds.
To stop the buzzer, press the [Enter] key on the operation panel.
• Immediately replace it with the new ink cartridge.
NOTE NOTE
• [****] in the messages for ink cartridge replacement indicates the color that is almost empty or runs
out, using the following characters.
• K: Black
• C: Cyan
• M: Magenta
• Y: Yellow
• Do not insert or remove the ink cartridge except at the time of replacement.
Inserting or removing the ink cartridge mixes air into the ink tube, and failures such as nozzle
clogging trouble may occur.
• If "Ink End" is displayed, the printing operation stops.
• If "Ink End" is displayed, you cannot print until inserting the new ink cartridge.
• If there is no cartridge for replacement at hand, leave the empty ink cartridge inserted in the printer.
Leaving the printer with the ink cartridge removed may result in clogging of the print head.
