Discharging Ink

If you need to move or transport your product when the temperature is 14°F (–10°C) or lower, you must first discharge the ink to keep the print head in optimum condition.
Note: The maintenance box needs enough capacity to discharge the ink. Replace the maintenance box first if the remaining capacity is low.
  1. Turn on the product.
  2. Remove all the paper from the product.
  3. Press the  home button, if necessary.
  4. Select Settings > Maintenance > Discharging/Charging Ink > Start. The ink begins to discharge. The power turns off automatically when the discharge process is complete.
    Caution:
    Do not open any product cover or turn off the product while ink is discharging.
