Solution

Ink level monitor

Enabling the remaining ink level notification function

  1. Make sure the printer is powered on.

  2. Press and hold the Stop button and release it when the Alarm lamp flashes 7 times.

    The remaining ink level notification function is enabled.

Disabling the remaining ink level notification function

 If the remaining ink level notification function is disabled, visually inspect the remaining ink and refill the ink tanks as necessary. Continuing printing with ink below the lower limit line of an ink tank may prevent satisfactory print quality.

 When changing the remaining ink level notification function from disabled to enabled, it is necessary to refill all ink tanks up to the upper limit line.

  1. Make sure the printer is powered on.

  2. Press and hold the Stop button and release it when the Alarm lamp flashes 8 times.

    The remaining ink level notification function is disabled.

Resetting the remaining ink level count

 After refilling the ink to the upper limit line of the ink tank, reset the remaining ink count. If the remaining ink count is reset when the ink tank is not full, the remaining ink level cannot be detected properly.

  1. Make sure the printer is powered on.

  2. Press and hold the Stop button and release it when the Alarm lamp flashes 6 times.

    The remaining ink level count is reset.
