Replacing an Ink Tank

If the print result is not improved after maintenance such as Print Head cleaning, an ink tank runs out of ink. Replace the ink tank with a new one. When replacing an ink tank, check the model number very carefully. The printer will not print properly if the wrong ink tank is used, or installed in the incorrect position.

Black: BCI-15 Black Color: BCI-16 Color

 Replacing an Ink Tank

When an ink tank runs out of ink, replace it using the following steps.

1 Ensure that the printer is turned on, and then open the Print Head Cover.

The Print Head Holder moves to the center.

Printing Maintenance

2 Remove the empty ink tank.

(1) Push the tab.

(2) Remove the ink tank.

Then lift it from its slot. Do not touch the Lock lever; remove only the ink tank.

Important • Handle ink tanks carefully to avoid staining your clothes or

surrounding area.

• Discard empty ink tanks according to the local laws and regulations regarding disposal of consumables.

3 Prepare a replacement ink tank.

(1) Unpack a new ink tank and remove the orange Protective Cap.

Protective Cap

Important • Do not re-attach the Protective Cap once you have removed it.

• Once the Protective Cap is removed, do not touch the open ink port.

Page 67

4 Insert the ink tank.

(1) Insert a new ink tank with it slightly slanted.

(2) Push down on the on the ink tank until it clicks into place.

5 Close the Print Head Cover.

The Print Head Holder moves to the right.

Important When an ink tank is replaced, the ink counter must be reset.

See "Resetting the Ink Counter

Resetting the Ink Counter" on page 64

Resetting the Ink CounterResetting the Ink Counter

Printing Maintenance

Note

• To maintain optimal print quality, use an ink tank within six months of its first use.

• Once an ink tank has been used, do not remove it from the printer and leave it out in the open. This will cause the ink tank to dry out and the printer may not function properly if it is reinstalled.

• Color ink consumption may occur even when black-and-white or grayscale printing is specified. Color ink is consumed in the head cleaning and deep cleaning, which are necessary to maintain the printer’s capabilities.

• When an ink tank runs out of ink, replace the ink tank with a new one immediately. If printing is continued with no ink in the ink tank, a problem may occur. And, the Low Ink Warning dialog which tells the exchange time of the ink tank cannot be indicated properly.

Page 68

Printing Maintenance

 Resetting the Ink Counter

When an ink tank is replaced, the ink counter must be reset. The low ink warning is only displayed properly if the ink counter is reset.

Message Prompting Confirmation of Ink Tank Replacement

If an ink tank is removed, the printer will send a message prompting you to confirm replacement of the ink tank at the start of the next print job. When an ink tank has been replaced, follow the procedure below to reset the ink counter. The low ink warning is only displayed properly if the ink counter is reset.

Important If infrared communication is performed in Windows XP or Windows 2000,

the printer will not send the message asking for confirmation of ink tank replacement.

This is why it is important to open the printer driver's Properties dialog box and manually reset the ink tank counter in the Maintenance tab whenever an ink tank is replaced.

1 Check the message, and click Yes.

Mistakenly clicking No properly. If this happens, be sure to open the driver’s Properties dialog box and manually reset the ink tank counter in the Maintenance tab.

 How Low Ink Warning Setting Works

The low ink warning notifies you of low ink levels during printing. The Low Ink Warning has been preset to be automatically displayed.

When you reset the ink counter, it will assume that the ink tank is full regardless of how much ink actually remains. The reset is the only way to match the counter value with an actual ink volume. Reset the ink counter when installing a new ink tank.

How to Display Low Ink Warning Correctly

• Reset the ink counter every time you install a new ink tank. The ink counter cannot work correctly unless you synchronize it with the actual ink

level. The ink counter can only be adjusted when it is reset at the time a new ink tank is installed.

• Do not reset the ink counter of an ink tank in use.

Synchronization of the counter and the actual ink level will not work properly.

Important If you did not reset the counter when you installed the current ink tanks,

the low ink warning may not function correctly, until the next time you replace the ink tanks. Also, ensure that you treat both counters separately. Refer to "Low Ink Warning Accompanied by Ink Tank Icon With a '?' page 80.
