9.6 Replace the service module
The printer service module contains disposable components that include the main ink filter.
You can replace the service module for quick and easy printer maintenance.
NOTE: You cannot replace the service module unless the jet is stopped. If necessary, touch
the Stop Jet button on the Home screen to stop the jet.
You must normally replace the service module after a maximum of 24 months of use (the
period depends on the printer jet run times and ink type used). The Service Module Life
option (see ‘Consumables History’ on page 171) shows the service module status (for
example, “Service Module OK”). The option also shows the jet run time in months, and the
equivalent in hours, that remain before you must replace the service module.
Figure 167. Consumables History screen: service module replacement time
When one month of the service module replacement time remains, the printer displays the
“3.45 Service Module Replacement Due Within One Month” Warning screen.
Touch the OK button to acknowledge the Warning message. The Service Module Life
option on the Consumables History screen (see ‘Consumables History’ on page 171)
displays the message “Replacement due within 1 month”, which confirms that service
module replacement is due.
When the service module replacement time reaches zero, the printer displays the “3.40
Service Module Requires Replacement” Warning screen. You must now replace the service
module. Touch the Need Help? button, and then touch the Resolve button to display
instructions on the screen about how to replace the service module.
If necessary, you can use the Replace Service Module option (Home > Main Menu >
Maintenance > Replace Service Module) to replace the service module. Follow the
instructions on the screen.
NOTE: Each service module has an Easi-Change® Service Key supplied with the module.
You must insert the Easi-Change® Service Key when requested during the Replace
Service Module sequence.
When you replace the service module, the service module life and the jet run times (see
‘Maintenance Times’ on page 168) are reset.
