							Useful Information about InkHow is ink used for various purposes other than printing?Ink may be used for purposes other than printing. Ink is not only used for printing, but also for cleaning the
print head to maintain the optimal printing quality.
The printer has the function to automatically clean the ink jet nozzles to prevent clogging. In the cleaning procedure, ink is pumped out from the nozzles. Used ink for nozzle cleaning is limited to a small amount.
Does black-and-white printing use color ink? Black-and-white printing may use ink other than black ink depending on the type of printing paper or the
settings of the printer driver. So, color ink is consumed even when printing in black-and-white.
The ink lamp indicates when ink is running low. You can confirm the status of each ink tank by the ink lamps. Open the print head cover of the printer toconfirm how the ink lamps light or flash.
When the ink is running low, the ink lamp flashes slowly (about 3-second interval) to indicate that the ink
is running low.
Then, when the ink runs out, the ink lamp flashes fast (about 1-second interval) to indicate that the ink
tank needs to be replaced with a new one.
Checking the Ink Status with the Ink Lamps

							Key Points to Successful PrintingCheck the printer status before printing!•
Is the print head OK?
If a print head nozzle is clogged, print will be faint and papers will be wasted. Print the nozzle check
pattern to check the print head.
Maintenance Procedure
•
Is the inside of the printer smeared with ink?
After printing large quantities of paper or performing borderless printing, the area where papers go through may get smeared with ink. Clean the inside of your printer with 
Bottom Plate Cleaning .
Set the paper thickness lever according to type of loaded paper. Set this lever to the right for normal use.
Set this lever to the left when printing on thick paper such as envelopes.
Loading Envelopes
Check how to load the paper correctly!
•
Is the paper loaded in the correct orientation?
To load paper in the rear tray, load paper WITH THE PRINT SIDE FACING YOU.
Loading Paper
•

							Be Sure to Make Paper Settings after Loading PaperIf the media type setting is not the one for the loaded paper, printing results may not be satisfactory. After
loading paper, be sure to select the appropriate media type setting for the loaded paper.
Print Results Not Satisfactory
There are various types of paper: paper with special coating on the surface for printing photos with optimal quality and paper suitable for documents.
Each media type has specific preset settings, such as how ink is used and sprayed, so that you can print on that type with optimal image quality.
This allows you to print with the settings best suited for the loaded media type just by selecting that media
type.

							Canceling a Print JobNever press the ON button!
If you press the  ON button while printing is in progress, the print data sent from the computer queues in
the printer and you may not be able to continue to print.
Press the  RESUME/CANCEL  button to cancel printing.257
 
						

							Printer Handling PrecautionsDo not place any object on the print head cover!
Do not place any object on the print head cover. It will fall into the rear tray when the print head cover is
opened and cause the printer to malfunction. Also, place the printer where objects will not fall on it.258
 
						

							Key to Enjoying Consistent Printing QualityThe key to printing with the optimal printing quality is to prevent the print head from drying or clogging.Always observe the following rules for optimal printing quality.
Never unplug the power cord until the power is turned off!If you press the  ON button to turn off the power, the printer caps the print head (nozzles) automatically to
prevent from drying. If you unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before the  POWER lamp is not lit,
the print head will not be capped properly and this will cause drying or clogging.
When 
unplugging the power cord , make sure that the POWER lamp is not lit.
Print periodically! Just as the tip of a felt pen becomes dry and unusable if it has not been used for a long time, even if it is
capped, the print head too, may become dried or clogged if the printer has not been used for a long time.
We recommend you to use the printer at least once a month.
Note
•
Depending on the type of paper, ink may blur if you trace the printed area with a highlight pen or
paint-stick, or bleed if water or sweat comes in contact with the printed area.
