PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

OPERATOR CONTROLS

1.4.6 Errors

Ink Out

When the printer runs out most of the ink of any color, it indicates ink-low and

keeps printing. When the printer runs out the whole ink of any color, it stops

printing and indicates ink-out error. User is then requested to install a new ink-

cartridge in this state. An ink-cartridge that has been taken out once should never

be used again. Re-installation of the cartridge not filled fully upsets the ink level

detection and may eventually cause a serious problem in the print head.

Paper Out

When the printer fails to load a sheet, it goes into a paper out error.

Paper Jam

When the printer fails to eject a sheet, it goes into a paper jam error.

No Ink-Cartridge

When the printer detects that ink-cartridge comes off, or failed to read or write

CSIC data, it goes into this error mode.

Maintenance Request

When the total amount of ink wasted through cleanings and flushing reaches to the

limit, printer indicates this error and stops. In such a case, the absorber in the

printer enclosure needs to be replaced with new one by service personnel.

Fatal Errors

Carriage control error.
