Refer to "An Error Code Is Displayed on the LED" in " Troubleshooting " of the on-screen manual: Advanced Guide , and take an appropriate action. Note For information on the compatible FINE Cartridges, refer to the printed manual: Getting Started. Replacing Procedure When you need to replace FINE Cartridges, follow the procedure below. Important Handling FINE Cartridges Do not touch the electrical contacts (A) or print head nozzles (B) on the FINE Cartridge. The machine may not print properly if you touch it. If you remove a FINE Cartridge, replace it immediately. Do not leave the machine with FINE Cartridges removed. Use new FINE Cartridges for replacement. Installing used FINE Cartridges may cause the nozzles to clog. Furthermore, with such cartridges, the machine will not be able to inform you when to replace the cartridges 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 new FINE Cartridges 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. For information on how to configure this setting, refer to the on-screen manual: Advanced Guide . Color ink may be consumed even when printing a black-and-white document or when black-andwhite 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 machine's performance. When ink runs out, replace the FINE Cartridge immediately with a new one. For details, see Tips on How to Use Your Machine . 1. Make sure that the power is turned on, and open the Paper Output Tray.
