Changing the Printer Mode

Change the printer's color mode if you will not use White ink for a longer period of time and when using White ink in the printer again.

Note:

You cannot change the printer mode if High speed color mode was selected during initial setup.
When you switch to White ink mode after using Color ink mode for a long time, the density of the White ink may be low. See the link below.

Preparation

Depending on the color mode you are changing to, prepare the following:

If you are changing from Color ink mode to White ink mode, you need two White ink packs.
If you are changing from Color ink mode to White ink mode for the first time, you need an ink charging unit. It is not required for the second and subsequent changes.
If you are changing from White ink mode to Color ink mode, you need two cleaning liquid packs.

Note: Except for White ink and cleaning liquid ink packs, prepare new ink when ink packs are running low.

Turn on the printer, if necessary.
Select Menu > General Settings > Printer Settings > Printer Mode.
Follow the on-screen instructions and then select Start.
Note: Select How To... on the screen to view the steps.
When the change is complete, the settings screen is displayed.
Note: If you switched from White ink mode to Color ink mode, clean the ink supply port for the White ink packs you removed before storing them. Lightly touch the corner of a wide cleaning stick from the supplied Maintenance Kit to the ink supply port to absorb any ink. You do not need to wipe off the ink and make sure you do not forcefully press or move the cleaning stick.
