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.
