Checking the Ink Status with the Ink Lamps on the Operation Panel
The ink level detector is mounted on the printer to detect the remaining ink level. The printer considers an ink as full when a new cartridge is installed, and then starts to detect a remaining ink level. If you install a used FINE cartridge, the indicated ink level of it may not be correct. In such case, refer to the ink level information only as a guide.
When remaining ink cautions or errors occur, the ink lamps and the Alarm lamp will flash to inform you of the error. Count the number of flashes and take appropriate action.
In the copy standby mode, you can check the ink status with the Color Ink lamp and Black Ink lamp.
* All the lamps on the operation panel are shown lit in the figure below for explanatory purposes.
