Handling of Used
Consumables
If using the printer in an office or other business, dispose
of used consumables in accordance with laws and
regulations, such as by contracting an industrial waste
disposal company.
If using the printer in a domestic situation, place these in
a plastic bag, then dispose of in accordance with laws
and regulations as well as regional ordinances, and as
directed by local government.

Replacing Ink Cartridges

If any of the ink colors remaining amount falls below the
minimum amount, printing will not be possible.
If an ink cartridge remaining amount falls below the
minimum amount, you can continue printing after
replacing the ink cartridge.
If the remaining ink amount drops yet printing is
continued, then replacement of an ink cartridge during
printing may be required. When replacing ink during a
print job, you may see a difference in color depending
on the drying conditions. When this is not permissible,
we recommend first replacing the ink cartridge with a
new one before printing. The removed ink cartridge can
be installed again and used until the remaining amount
falls below the minimum amount. However, if an ink
cartridge with not much ink remaining is removed and
reinstalled, it may not be usable because some ink is
consumed to ensure the reliability of the printer.
