Changing the Color Mode

You need to change the printer's color mode when switching between the White or Metallic Silver ink packs (SC-S80600L). It takes approximately one hour to change color modes. You need a cleaning pack when switching between the White and Metallic Silver ink packs, or when switching to 9 Color Mode. (You do not need a cleaning pack when switching from 9 Color Mode to either of the other two color modes.)

To save on ink, switch to 9 Color Mode if you do not plan on using the White or Metallic Silver ink packs for 20 or more days.

Note: You may not be able to switch color modes if the cleaning pack, or the White or Metallic Silver ink packs, are low. Have new packs handy before switching color modes.
