Tips on How to Use Your Printer 
This section introduces the tips on how to use your printer and for printing with optimal quality.
 Ink is used for various purposes. 
 How is ink used for various purposes other than printing ?
Ink may be used for purposes other than printing. I nk is not only used for printing, but also for
cleaning the Print Head to maintain the optimal pri nting 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 nozz les. 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 bla ck ink depending on the type of printing paper or
the settings of the printer driver. So, color ink i s consumed even when printing in black-and-white.
 Why does the printer have two black ink tanks?
There are two kinds of black ink in the printer: dy e ink (BK) and pigment ink (PGBK).
The dye ink is used mainly for printing photos, ill ustration, etc., and the pigment ink is used for te xt-
based documents. Each has different purposes so tha t even if one runs out, another will not be
used instead. If either of them runs out, the ink t ank replacement is required.
These two inks are automatically used depending on  the type of printing paper or the settings of the
printer driver. You cannot change the usage of thes e inks yourself.
 The ink lamp informs you when ink is running low.
The inside of the ink tank consists of (A) the part  where ink is preserved and (B) the sponge with
absorbed ink.
W hen the ink (A) runs out, the ink lamp flashes slo wly to indicate that the ink is running low. Then,
when the ink (B) runs out, the ink lamp flashes fast to indicate that the ink needs to be replaced with
a new one. 
See 
Replacing an Ink Tank.
 Printing on special paper: How to print with optimal  quality!?

 Is the Print Head ok?
If print head nozzles are clogged, print will be fa int and papers will be wasted. Print the nozzle
check pattern to check the Print Head.
