Precautions on Ink Cartridge Replacement  
Read all of the instructions in this section and “When handling ink  
cartridges” on page 10 before replacing the ink cartridge.  
❏
If you need to remove an ink cartridge temporarily from this  
product, besure to protecttheinksupply areaofthe ink cartridge  
from dirt and dust. Store the ink cartridge in the same  
environment as this product. When storing the cartridge, be sure  
that its label identifying the color of the ink cartridge is facing  
upward. Do not store ink cartridges upside down.  
70  
Replacing Ink Cartridges  
   
❏
❏
The valve in the ink supply port is designed to contain any excess  
ink that may be released. However, careful handling is  
recommended. Do not touch the supply port of the ink cartridge  
or its surrounding area.  
This product uses ink cartridges equipped with an IC chip. The  
IC chip accurately monitors the amount of ink used by each  
cartridge, so evenifacartridgeis removedandthenlaterinserted  
again, all of its ink can be used. However, some ink is consumed  
each time the cartridge is inserted because this product  
automatically checks its reliability.  
❏
❏
When an ink cartridge becomes empty, you cannot continue  
copying even if the other cartridge still contains ink. Before  
copying, replace the empty cartridge.  
In addition to being used in document copying, ink is also  
consumed in the following operations: print head cleaning,  
self-cleaning cycle performed when this product is turned on,  
and ink charging when an ink cartridge is installed in this  
product.  
❏
❏
Do not refill the ink cartridges. This product calculates the  
amount of ink remaining using an IC chip built into an ink  
cartridge. Even if the cartridge is refilled, the amount of ink  
remaining is not recalculated by the IC chip and therefore the  
amount of ink available for use does not change.  
After an ink cartridge is replaced, if the ink is low it may become  
empty. When a message appears to indicate the ink is low,  
prepare a new ink cartridge.

print head needs to be cleaned.  
Good: print head does not need to be cleaned yet.  
Not Good: print head needs to be cleaned.  
The actual printouts are printed in color (CMYK).  
If the nozzle check result is not good, there is a problem with this  
product. It may be a clogged ink nozzle or a misaligned print head.  
To solve these problems, see the next two sections for details.

Maintenance and Transporting  
Cleaning the Print Head  
If you find that the nozzle check result is unexpectedly faint or some  
dots in the printed image are missing, you may be able to solve these  
problems by cleaning the print head, which ensures that the nozzles  
are delivering ink properly.  
Note:  
❏
Print head cleaning uses both color and black ink. To avoid wasting ink,  
clean the print head only if the copy quality drops (for example, blurred  
printout, incorrect or missing color).  
❏
❏
Before cleaning the print head, perform the nozzle check first to see if it  
really needs to be cleaned. This saves ink.  
When the ! Error light is on and a message appears on the LCD panel  
to prompt you to replace the ink cartridge or to indicate the ink is low,  
you cannot clean the print head. In this case, replace the appropriate  
ink cartridge first.  
Follow the steps below to clean the print head using the Control  
Panel.  
1. Make sure this product is on, and the ! Error light is off.  
2. Press the Setup Mode button to enter the Setup Mode.  
3. Press the A or l/r Select button repeatedly until 3.Head  
Cleaningappears on the LCD panel, and then press the xColor  
button. Cleaning of the print head starts and Head cleaning...  
appears on the LCD panel.  
Caution:  
Never turn off this product while Head cleaning...appears  
on the LCD panel. Doing so may damage this product.  
c
Maintenance and Transporting  
79  
 
4. When Head cleaning...disappears from the LCD panel,  
perform the nozzle check to confirm that the head is clean and  
to reset the cleaning cycle. See “Checking the Print Head  
Nozzles” on page 77.  
Note:  
❏
❏
❏
If the print quality has not improved after repeating this procedure  
four or five times, turn this product off and leave it alone overnight.  
Then, perform the nozzle check again and repeat head cleaning if  
necessary.  
If the print quality still has not improved, one or both of your ink  
cartridges may be old or damaged and may need to be replaced. To  
replace an ink cartridge, see “Replacing an Ink Cartridge” on page  
72.  
To maintain good print quality, we recommend printing a few  
pages at least once every month.  
Aligning the Print Head  
If you notice vertical lines are not aligned properly on the nozzle  
check result, you may be able to solve this problem by aligning the  
print head.  
Follow the steps below to align the print head using the Control  
Panel.  
Note:  
Do not press the y Stop button to cancel printing while printing an  
alignment pattern.  
1. Make sure that A4 or Letter paper is loaded in the sheet feeder.  
2. Make sure that this product is on, and the ! Error light is off.  
3. Press the Setup Mode button to enter the Setup Mode.

5. Look at the alignment patterns. Find the pair of vertical lines that  
is aligned in pattern #1, and then enter the number using the  
numeric buttons. Finally, press the x Color button to enter your  
selection.  
6. The next pattern number appears. As with pattern #1, find and  
register the aligned pairs for the remaining alignment patterns  
#2 through #4.  
After all patterns are set, the print head alignment operation is  
completed.
