When you need to replace a FINE cartridge, follow the procedure below.
IMPORTANT
Handling FINE cartridge
- Do not touch the electrical contacts (A) or print head nozzle (B) on a FINE cartridge. The machine may not print properly if you touch them.
- If you remove a FINE cartridge, replace it immediately. Do not leave the machine with the FINE cartridge removed.
- Use a new FINE cartridge for replacement. Installing a used FINE cartridge may cause the nozzles to clog.
Furthermore, with such a FINE cartridge, the machine will not be able to inform you when to replace the FINE cartridge properly.
- Once a FINE cartridge has been installed, do not remove it from the machine and leave it out in the open. This will cause the FINE cartridge to dry out, and the machine may not operate properly when it is reinstalled. To maintain optimal printing quality, use a FINE cartridge within six months of first use.
REFERENCE
- If a FINE cartridge runs out of ink, you can print with either color or black FINE cartridge, in whichever ink remains, only for a while. However the print quality may be reduced compared to when printing with both cartridges. We recommend to use a new FINE cartridge in order to obtain optimum qualities.
Even when printing with one ink only, print with leaving the empty FINE cartridge installed. If either of the color FINE cartridge or black FINE cartridge is not installed, an error occurs and the machine cannot print.
- Color ink may be consumed even when printing a black-and-white document or when black-and-white printing is specified.
Both color ink and black ink are also consumed in the standard cleaning and deep cleaning of the print head, which may be necessary to maintain the performance of the machine. When ink runs out, replace the FINE cartridge immediately with a new one.
1. Make sure that the power is turned on.
2. Retract the paper output tray and the output tray extension.
3. Open the cover.
The FINE cartridge holder moves to the replacement position.
CAUTION
Do not hold the FINE cartridge holder to stop or move it forcibly. Do not touch the FINE cartridge holder until it stops completely.
IMPORTANT
- The inside of the machine may be stained with ink. Be careful not to stain your hands or clothing when replacing the FINE cartridge. You can easily wipe off the ink from the inside of the machine with tissue paper or the like.
For details on the cleaning, refer to Safety and Important Information.
- Do not touch the metallic parts or other parts inside the machine.
- If the cover is left open for more than 10 minutes, the FINE cartridge holder may move and the Alarm lamp light. In this case, close the cover, then open it again.

- Be careful not to stain your hands and the surrounding area with ink on the removed protective tape.
- Do not reattach the protective tape once you have removed it. Discard it according to the local laws and regulations regarding disposal of consumables.
- Do not touch the electrical contacts or print head nozzle on a FINE cartridge. The machine may not print properly if you touch them.
6. Install the FINE cartridge.
(1) Insert the new FINE cartridge at a slant into the FINE cartridge holder.
The color FINE cartridge should be installed into the left slot and the black FINE cartridge should be installed into the right slot.
IMPORTANT

(2) Push the FINE cartridge in and up firmly until it snaps into place.
