6-1. Replacing Consumables 

This section describes how to replace the consumables:   
Ink Cartridge,   
Wiper Cleaner,   
Waste Ink Cartridge,   
and Platen Sheet. 

6-1-1. Replacing the Ink Cartridge 

The ink indicator on the Display flashes when the Ink Cartridge is getting low. Prepare the new Ink 
Cartridge, and replace it when “EMPTY XXXX (color)” is displayed.   
 

<Note> 
Use the Ink Cartridges described in “1-3-5. Consumable Requirements”. 
Be careful not to get ink on your hands or clothing. Wash with soap if stained with ink.     
Do not replace cartridges while printing or head cleaning; is in operation it may cause damage to your 
printer. 
Do not disassemble the Ink Cartridge. 
Replace the Wiper Cleaner when Black Ink is empty. See 6-1-2. Replacing the Wiper Cleaner".   
To keep the best print result, your printer will show empty status for the color cartridge that is empty. To 
keep print quality, a small amount of ink remains to avoid damage to your printer.   
 

(1)  Remove the new Ink Cartridge from its packing. 
(2)  Carefully remove    the used Ink Cartridge from your printer.   

<Note> 
Leave the used Ink Cartridge installed until just before the replacement. Leaving your printer with 
no Ink Cartridge installed may cause ink leakage. 
Do not put your finger to the Ink Cartridge Slot; otherwise you may get injured with the needle 
inside.
