AMS04 (Maintenance assurance 2)
• Selector 2: Home key switch in sleep mode
Select whether the Home key blinks or turns off when the machine is in sleep mode.
Note Update the firmware to the latest version before using this function.
• Selector 3: Black ink print mode
If any color ink runs out, printing is no longer possible by default. Setting this
selector to "1" allows the machine to function as a monochrome printer, making it
possible to print with black ink only even in a "Replace Ink" state as listed below.
Tip: Difference between selector 3 on AMS04 and selector 8 on WSW49 (For
details, refer to the "Worker Switches (WSW)" document separately issued.)
Both selector 3 on AMS04 and selector 8 on WSW49 specify the similar black ink
print mode that applies if any color ink runs out. The difference is that the former
allows the machine to print all data received as a monochrome printer with black
ink only; the latter to ignore the "Replace Ink" state, receive both color and black
data, and print it, resulting in a printout missing color components.
• Selectors 4 and 8: Automatic purging for color ink and for black ink
The machine periodically performs an automatic purge by default. The automatic
purge, however, wastes ink when no printing has occurred. To avoid it, disable the
automatic purge with these selectors. In the first printing after a long no-print
period, disabling it may lower the print quality.
Setting selector 4 or 8 to "1" disables the setting made by selectors 6 and 7.
