If an Error Occurs
Replacing Procedure
When you need to replace a FINE cartridge, follow the procedure below. Watch the movie
Important
Handling FINE cartridge Do not touch the electrical contacts (A) or print head nozzle (B) on a FINE cartridge. The machine may not print properly if you touch them.
If you remove a FINE cartridge, replace it immediately. Do not leave the machine 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 machine 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 machine and leave it out in the open. This will cause the FINE cartridge to dry out, and the machine may not operate properly when it is reinstalled. To maintain optimal printing quality, use a FINE cartridge within six months of first use.
Note
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 machine cannot print.
63

For information on how to configure this setting, see Setting the Ink 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 machine. When ink runs out, replace the FINE cartridge immediately with a new one.

Useful Information about Ink
How is ink used for various purposes other than printing?
Ink may be used for purposes other than printing. Ink is not only used for printing, but also for cleaning the print head to maintain the optimal printing quality. The machine has the function to automatically clean the ink jet nozzles to prevent clogging. In the cleaning procedure, ink is pumped out from the nozzles. Used ink for nozzle cleaning is limited to a small amount.
Does black-and-white printing use color ink?
Black-and-white printing may use ink other than black ink depending on the type of printing paper or the settings of the printer driver. So, color ink is consumed even when printing in black-and-white.
122

Key Points to Successful Printing
Check the machine status before printing! Is the print head OK?
If a print head nozzle is clogged, print will be faint and papers will be wasted. Print the nozzle check pattern to check the print head.

Key to Enjoying Consistent Printing Quality
The key to printing with the optimal printing quality is to prevent the print head from drying or clogging. Always observe the following rules for optimal printing quality.
Never disconnect the power plug until the power is turned off!
If you press the ON button to turn off the power, the machine caps the print head (nozzles) automatically to prevent from drying. If you disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet before the power is turned off (while the ON lamp is lit or flashing), the print head will not be capped properly and this will cause drying or clogging. When disconnecting the power plug, make sure that the ON lamp is not lit.
Notice for Unplugging the Power Cord
Print periodically!
Just as the tip of a felt pen becomes dry and unusable if it has not been used for a long time, even if it is capped, the print head too, may become dried or clogged if the machine has not been used for a long time. We recommend you to use the machine at least once a month.
Note
Depending on the type of paper, ink may blur if you trace the printed area with a highlight pen or paint-stick, or bleed if water or sweat comes in contact with the printed area.

Precautions for Safe Transport of the Machine
When relocating the machine, make sure of the following.
Important
When sending the machine for repair Pack the machine in a sturdy box so that it is placed with its bottom facing down, using sufficient protective material to ensure safe transport. With the FINE cartridge left installed in the machine, press the ON button to turn off the power. This allows the machine to automatically cap the print head, thus preventing it from drying. After packing, do not tilt the box containing the machine or turn it on its side or upside down. Doing so may cause the ink to leak during transport and cause damage to the machine. When a shipping agent is handling transport of the machine, have its box marked “THIS SIDE UP” to keep the machine with its bottom facing down. Mark also with “FRAGILE” or “HANDLE WITH CARE”.
1. Turn the machine off.
2. Confirm that the ON lamp is off and unplug the machine.
Notice for Unplugging the Power Cord
Important
Do not unplug the machine while the ON lamp is lit or flashing, as it may cause malfunction or damage to the machine, making the machine unable to print.
3. Retract the paper output tray and the output tray extension, then close the paper support.
4. Disconnect the printer cable from the computer and from the machine, then disconnect the power plug from the machine.

5. Use adhesive tape to secure all the covers on the machine to keep them from opening during transportation. Then pack the machine in the plastic bag.
6. Attach the protective material to the machine when packing the machine in the box.
