The maintenance box stores surplus ink that gets collected during printing or print head cleaning. To prevent ink leakage from the maintenance box, the printer is designed to stop printing when the absorbing capacity of the maintenance box has reached its limit. Whether and how often this is required will vary according to the number of pages you print, the type of material that you print on, and the number of cleaning cycles that the printer performs. When you see a message on the LCD screen, follow the on-screen instructions to replace the maintenance box.
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.
