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 touch the green chip on the side of the maintenance
box.
- Do not drop the maintenance box or subject it to strong
shocks.
- Do not replace the maintenance box during printing; otherwise,
ink may leak.
- Do not remove the maintenance box or its cover except when
replacing the maintenance box; otherwise, ink may leak.
- If you cannot replace the cover, the maintenance box may not be
installed correctly. Remove the maintenance box and reinstall
it.
- Do not tilt the maintenance box after removing it; otherwise,
ink may leak.
- Do not touch the openings in the maintenance box or you may get
ink on you.
- Do not reuse a maintenance box that has been removed and left
uninstalled for a long period.
- Keep the maintenance box out of direct sunlight.
- Do not store the maintenance box in high or freezing
temperatures.
Note: The
maintenance box is a user-replaceable part and is not covered by
the product warranty.
