REQUIRED ADJUSTMENTS
❏ When you replace the ink drain pad, initialize protect counter A in EEPROM contents as
follows to fit printer mechanism parameters to EEPROM data:
1. Reassemble the printer.
2. Turn the printer on while holding down Alt, LL/FF, Economy/Condensed and Pause
buttons on the control panel.
❏ When the EEPROM is initialized, some default settings (for example; Bi-D setting, head
gap / angle / black-color head gap, head drive voltage settings, etc.) are lost. So, you
need to adjust the printer. (See Chapter 4.)
❏ If you find that the value of counter A is less than 320,000, and there has been no
maintenance request error, be sure to let the customer know that you replaced the ink
drain pad.
❏ If you find that the value of counter C is less than 320,000, and there has been no
maintenance request error, let the customer know that you replaced the ink drain pad.
