Checking the Ink Status
You can check the ink status with the Ink lamps on the Operation Panel or with the computer screen.
Note
The ink level detector is mounted on the machine to detect the remaining ink level. The machine
considers as ink is full when a new FINE Cartridge is installed, and then starts to detect a remaining
ink level. If you install a used FINE Cartridge, the indicated ink level of it may not be correct. In such
case, refer to the ink level information only as a guide.
With the Ink Lamps on the Operation Panel
Make sure that the LED is in the copy standby mode. You can confirm the ink status with the Ink
lamps.
