Replacing a FINE Cartridge

When remaining ink cautions or errors occur, the Alarm lamp will flash to inform you of the

error. In this state, the printer cannot print. Count the number of flashes and take appropriate

action.

An Error Occurs

While using the printer, the periphery of the paper output slot may become dirty with ink.

Before replacing the FINE Cartridge, clean the periphery of the paper output slot.

Replacing Procedure

When you need to replace a FINE cartridge, follow the procedure below.

Watch the movie

Important

Do not touch the electrical contacts (A) or print head nozzle (B) on a FINE cartridge. The

printer may not print properly if you touch them.

If you remove a FINE cartridge, replace it immediately. Do not leave the printer 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 printer 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 printer and leave it

out in the open. This will cause the FINE cartridge to dry out, and the printer may not

operate properly when it is reinstalled. To maintain optimal printing quality, use a FINE

cartridge within six months of first use.

Note

For Windows, 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 printer cannot print.

For information on how to configure this setting, see below.

Setting the FINE Cartridge to be Used

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

printer. When ink runs out, replace the FINE cartridge immediately with a new one.

Ink Tips

1. Make sure that the power is turned on.

2. Retract the paper output tray and the output tray extension.

3. Open the cover.

The FINE cartridge holder moves to the replacement position.

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 inside of the printer may be stained with ink. Be careful not to stain your

hands or clothing when replacing the FINE cartridge. You can easily wipe off the

ink from the inside of the printer with tissue paper or the like.
