Solution
You can check the status of each FINE Cartridge with the printer status monitor.
NOTE
- The ink level detector is mounted on the printer to detect the remaining ink level. The printer considers as ink is full when a new FINE Cartridge is installed, and then starts to detect a remaining ink level. If you install a used FINE Cartridge, the indicated ink level of it may not be correct. In such case, refer to the ink level information only as a guide.
- When remaining ink cautions or errors occur, the Alarm lamp will flash orange to inform you of the error. Refer to [ Alarm Lamp Flashes Orange ].
Example: (A)
The ink is running low. Prepare a new ink cartridge.
