You can confirm the status of FINE Cartridges in the following two ways:
“With the Ink Lamps” on page 25
“With the Computer Screen” on page 26
Note
If there is no improvement with the quality of printing following such maintenance as Print Head
Cleaning, a FINE Cartridge is probably empty. When ink runs out, replace the FINE Cartridge. The
machine will not print properly if the wrong type of FINE Cartridge is used, or if it is installed in the
incorrect position.
For information on compatible FINE Cartridges, refer to the back cover of the

correct. In such a case, refer to the ink level information only as a guide.
