10. Close the top cover. The printer will automatically start mixing the ink. Wait until the printer stops making operating noise (it takes up to about 2 minutes or less). Note • If the error message appears on the LCD after the top cover is closed, take appropriate action. When Error Occurred • When you start printing after replacing the ink tank, the printer starts cleaning the print head automatically. Do not perform any other operations until the printer completes the cleaning of the print head. • If the print head is out of alignment, as indicated by misaligned printed ruled lines or similar symptoms, align the print head. Notes on ink tanks Important • Use a new ink tank for replacement. Installing a used ink tank may cause the nozzles to clog. Furthermore, with such an ink tank, the printer will not be able to inform you when to replace the ink tank properly. • Once an ink tank has been installed, do not remove it from the printer and leave it out in the open. This will cause the ink tank to dry out, and the printer may not operate properly when it is reinstalled. To maintain optimal printing quality, use an ink tank within six months of first use. Note • Color ink may be consumed even when printing a black-and-white document or when black-andwhite printing is specified. Every ink is 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 an ink tank is out of ink, replace it immediately with a new one. Ink 207
