Check Ink and Maintenance Box Levels

maintenance box is almost full or needs to be replaced.

Caution:

If the ink level is below the lower line on the ink tank, fill it to the upper line on the ink tank.

Continued use of the product when the ink level is below the lower line on a tank could damage the
