SECTION 3
OPERATING THE PRINTER
45
Ink Level Status
Displays the approximate amount (%) of ink available in each Ink
Tank.
NOTE: The Ink Level (%) is an estimated value based on ink that has
been ejected (printed) from the printhead. Priming/depriming and
manually cleaning the printhead can reduce the accuracy of
this calculation.
When the printer has calculated that it has used 250 ml of ink from an Ink Tank; the printer will stop
printing, the ink percentage value will be displayed as “0%” and the Toolbox System Status will change to
“INK_OUT_X” (X= Tank Color, or Multiple).
Examples: INK_OUT_YELLOW, INK_OUT_MULTIPLE (if more than one tank is out)
You may also see the following conditions displayed in place of the Ink
Level percentage value:
Out = Printer does not see any visible ink in the Ink Tank.
? = No Ink Tank installed or printer doesn’t recognize the Ink Tank.
Tip: See “Cleaning Ink Tank Contacts & Prism” section, for possible
remedies for a false “Out” or “?” conditions.
NOTE: When the Ink Level status is displayed as “?”; the Toolbox "Systems Status" will change to
"Cartridge_Missing_X" (X= tank color or multiple).
IMPORTANT! Please be sure to press the “Replace Ink Tanks” button, or power-down the print engine,
before installing/removing/exchanging Ink Tank(s). See the section titled “Replacing The Ink Tanks”.
If this rule is not followed the QA Chip on the Tank can be corrupted; rendering the Tank unusable
(stranding the remaining ink in the Tank).
The Ink Level status of a “corrupted” Tank is commonly displayed as “?” (unrecognized), but it can also be
displayed as “Out” or “0%”.
