Replacing Ink Tanks
When an ink tank runs out of ink, replace it using the following steps.
Important
If ink runs low while a fax is being received, the fax may be stored in memory without being printed.
See
“Documents Stored in Memory” on page 113 .
Note
z Do not replace the ink tank while scanning documents. If you open the Scanning Unit (Printer
Cover) while scanning, the document may not be scanned properly.
z To maintain optimal print quality, use an ink tank within six months of its first use.
z Once an ink tank has been used, do not remove it from the machine and leave it out in the open.
This will cause the ink tank to dry out and the machine may not operate properly if it is reinstalled.
z Color ink consumption may occur even when black-and-white or grayscale printing is specified.
Color ink is consumed in the head cleaning and deep cleaning, which are necessary to maintain
the machine’s capabilities.
