3.9.15 Ink Absorber Box, Ink Absorber Felt, and PF Encoder Disk
Note: Do not remove the ink absorber box unless it needs to be replaced.
Note: If the main drain tube and air vent tube are disconnected from the ink absorber box for
replacement of the ink absorber box, they are reusable only one time by trimming their ends
vertically 10 mm with scissors clear and free of oil. Check that their cut surfaces are free of oil.
(1) Take the ink absorber box out of the lower cover.
(2) Pull out the main drain tube and air vent tube from the ink absorber box.
Note: Pinch the end of each tube with a clip in order to prevent drained ink from leaking
and the machine from getting stained with leaked ink.
Note: Do not place those tubes that have been pulled out on the main PCB. If the PCB is
stained with leaked ink, wipe it off with a dry cloth.
(3) If it is the first time for those tubes to be disconnected, trim their ends to make them
reusable and connect them to a new ink absorber box.
If it is the second time, those tubes need to be replaced. Pull them off the joints on the rear
of the maintenance unit and connect new tubes to the joints and a new ink absorber box.
Note: If the ink absorber box or its surroundings are stained with ink, wipe them off with a
cloth.
(4) Take the ink absorber felt out of the lower cover.
