Maintenance General Maintenance Issues 206
6.1.1 Periodic Maintenance Items
The printer uses sensors and counters to determine when consumable items
need to be replaced. When a consumable part has reached its predetermined
end-of-life according to the corresponding counter, a message appears. See
the table below for parts which require periodic replacement.
6.1.2 Product Life Information
The table below shows the product life about the printer body, each
mechanism and various parts. Information regarding to the product life can
be checked by the following way.
Panel Setting: “Printer Status Menu”
The amount of ink remaining is indicated on the LCD. (“F*****E” - F =
full, E = empty, and each asterisk * represents a percentage of the
total ink.)
Also, the counters which record these values can be initialized by
“Maintenance Mode 2”.
Self-Diagnostic Function: from the “Test” menu select “Check:
Maintenance”

#1054038)
“Maintenance Call 0100”
or
“Service Call 00000100”

• Pump Assembly
•Cap Assembly
• Flushing Box
• Cleaner, Head
*Required Adjustment
• Waste Ink Counter Clear (See
“Counter Clear” on page 194.)
Ink Tubes “Service Call 00000101”
Solution
• Check the ink tube
(The printer indicates this error
when the carriage has made a
predetermined number of
passes; this indicates the ink
tubes should be replaced before
they wear out, causing air to
enter the ink tube or ink to leak.)
CAUTION
When replacing the waste ink pads, replace the pads in the
waste ink tank and not the whole tank. Put the old pads in a
plastic bag and throw away the used ink pads according to the
laws and rules in your area.
CAUTION
Do not perform the counter initialization without replacing the
corresponding parts and checking their operation. Since the
counters for “Waste Ink Life” and “Ink Remaining Quantity”
influence printer operations, do not clear them unnecessarily.
