1. “-” means no effect.
2. Fatal error is cleared by turning off and back on the printer or by inputting the /INIT signal after the
problem is solved.
3. Maintenance is required when the wasted ink drain pads are filled with the wasted ink to the specified
limit. On this condition servicing is needed. To clear the condition, perform EEPROM reset operation.
