Maintaining the Printer
You should regularly check the ink status (see below) and replace cartridges (see page 12) as necessary.
Periodically, you also must perform the following maintenance procedures:
• Dispose of waste ink
(as needed); see page 13
• Clean the cleaning wiper and print head casing
(once a month or more often, as needed); see page 14
• Replace the ink flushing pad
(once a year or more often, as needed); see page 16
• Wash the ink system
(as needed); see page 17
Checking Ink Status
The easiest way to check ink levels is from the control panel LCD display. The numbers below the ink
icons correspond to the ink cartridge slots on the printer.
The icons indicate the ink remaining as follows:
