    The Maintenance Cartridge absorbs excess ink from borderless printing, printhead cleaning, and other processes. You
    can confirm the remaining capacity of the Maintenance Cartridge by checking the Maintenance Cartridge capacity
    shown on the Display Screen.
    To check remaining Maintenance Cartridge capacity, access the  Tab Selection screen on the Control Panel and
    press  ◀ or  ▶ to select the Settings/Adj. tab (
    ).

    is displayed indicating to check the remaining capacity of the Maintenance Cartridge, or before tasks that deplete much
    of the capacity such as head cleaning or preparations to move the printer, check the remaining Maintenance Cartridge
    capacity and prepare a new Maintenance Cartridge as needed.   (See "Replacing the Maintenance Cartridge .")

    When to Replace the Maintenance Cartridge
    Replace or prepare to replace the Maintenance Cartridge in the following situations.
    If a message for checking the Maintenance Cartridge is shown on the Display Screen
    When the Maintenance Cartridge is almost full, the  Message Lamp is lit and "The level is low " is shown on the Dis-
    play Screen. You can continue to print, but check the remaining Maintenance Cartridge capacity and prepare to re-
    place the Maintenance Cartridge with a new one.   (See "Checking the Remaining Maintenance Cartridge Capacity .")
    →P.859
    When much of the Maintenance Cartridge capacity is depleted
    Printhead cleaning, Printhead replacement, and preparations to transfer the printer deplete much of the Maintenance
    Cartridge capacity. (In particular, preparing to move the printer depletes a lot of the capacity.)
    Check the remaining Maintenance Cartridge capacity before this maintenance and replace the Maintenance Cartridge
    if necessary.
    If a message for the Maintenance Cartridge replacement is shown on the Display Screen
    When the Maintenance Cartridge is almost empty, the  Message Lamp lights, a message to replace the Maintenance
    Cartridge is displayed on the Display Screen, and you cannot print. Replace the Maintenance Cartridge with a new
    one.
