60 Replacing Ink Cartridges
Precautions on Ink Cartridge Replacement
❏ If you need to remove an ink cartridge temporarily from this
product, be sure to protect the ink supply area of the ink cartridge
from dirt and dust. Store the ink cartridge in the same environment
as this product. When storing the cartridge, be sure that its label
identifying the color of the ink cartridge is facing upward. Do not
store ink cartridges upside down.
❏ The valve in the ink supply port is designed to contain any excess
ink that may be released. However, careful handling is
recommended. Do not touch the supply port of the ink cartridge or
its surrounding area.
❏ This product uses ink cartridges equipped with an IC chip. The IC
chip accurately monitors the amount of ink used by each cartridge,
so even if a cartridge is removed and then later inserted again, all of
its ink can be used. However, some ink is consumed each time the
cartridge is inserted because this product automatically checks its
reliability.
❏ When an ink cartridge becomes empty, you cannot continue copying
even if the other cartridge still contains ink. Before copying, replace
the empty cartridge.
❏ In addition to being used in document copying, ink is also consumed
in the following operations: print head cleaning, self-cleaning cycle
performed when this product is turned on, and ink charging when
an ink cartridge is installed in this product.
❏ Do not refill the ink cartridges. This product calculates the amount
of ink remaining using an IC chip built into an ink cartridge. Even
if the cartridge is refilled, the amount of ink remaining is not
recalculated by the IC chip and therefore the amount of ink available
for use does not change.
❏ After an ink cartridge is replaced, if the ink is low it may become
empty. When a message appears to indicate the ink is low, prepare
a new ink cartridge.
