The maintenance box stores surplus
ink that gets collected during printing or print head
cleaning. When you see a message on the LCD screen, follow
the on-screen instructions to replace the maintenance box.
Note: When
the maintenance box is full, you cannot print or clean the print
head until it is replaced. However, you can perform operations that
do not require ink, such as scanning.
Note the following precautions when replacing the
maintenance box:
- Do not remove the maintenance box or its cover
except when replacing the maintenance box; otherwise, ink may
leak.
- Do not touch the green chip on the side of the
maintenance box.
- Do not tilt the maintenance box after removing it or
ink may leak.
- Do not touch the openings in the maintenance box or
you may get ink on you.
- Do not drop the maintenance box or subject it to
strong shocks.
- If you cannot replace the cover, the maintenance box
may not be installed correctly. Remove and reinstall the
maintenance box.
- Do not store the maintenance box in high or freezing
temperatures.
- Do not replace the maintenance box during printing;
otherwise, ink may leak.
- Keep the maintenance box out of direct
sunlight.
Caution:
Do not reuse a maintenance box that has
been removed and left uninstalled for a long period. Keep the
maintenance box away from direct sunlight.
Note: The
maintenance box is a user-replaceable part and is not covered by
the product warranty.
