Waste Ink Disposal Guidelines
When you see the Prepare empty waste ink bottle message on the printer's LCD screen, you need to
replace the waste ink bottle according to these guidelines:
• Dispose of the entire waste ink bottle; do not pour waste ink into another container.
• Never remove the waste ink bottle during printing, print head cleaning, maintenance, or ink
replacement. Waste ink may leak.
• The printer calculates the amount of waste ink in the waste ink bottle and displays a warning message
when it is close to the limit. If the waste ink bottle fills up during printing, replace it with a new waste ink
bottle. When you see a message on the control panel to clear the waste ink counter, press the OK
button to clear the counter and continue printing.
Note: Do not clear the waste ink counter unless you replaced the waste ink bottle. Otherwise the
waste ink bottle replacement time will not be calculated correctly.
