When Ink Cartridges Become Empty
When ink runs out, a warning beep sounds and printing pauses. Then a
screen like the one shown in the figure appears (unless the default settings
have been changed). Pull out the empty cartridge and insert a new one.
Printing resumes.
Procedure
Check which cartridge is empty.
Gently shake the new cartridge.
Pull out the empty cartridge and immediately insert the
new one.
Important Notes on Replacing Cartridges
➢Be sure to replace with an item of identical type. Never mix items of different types.
➢Never allow the machine to stand with an ink cartridge removed. The print heads may become clogged.
➢Never insert or remove a partially used ink cartridge.
➢Never remove an ink cartridge suddenly while the printer is in operation.
➢When printing is paused, the coloring at the seam may be altered when printing resumes. Before you perform
lengthy printing, check the amount of ink remaining in the ink cartridges.

							44Chapter 3 Operation of the Media Take-up System
3-1 The Take-up  System
Features of the Take-up System
Using the take-up system lets you perform printing while the media is taken up automatically. This makes possible
unattended operation at night and efficient printing of lengthy media.
Operating Conditions for the Take-up System
Settings Related to Media Feed
When using the take-up system, to avoid pulling media with undue force, be sure to observe the following points.
Operations that pull the media with undue force, such as unsuitable take-up by the take-up system, can cause
printing to stop or result in misalignment of the printing position.
➢Never use
to pull the media back.
➢Never operate the MANUAL switch for the take-up unit when the loading lever is pulled back.
➢When loading and setting up media, set the [SETUP SHEET] menu item to TU.
➢Set the [FEED FOR DRY] menu item to DISABLE.
 P. 88, Drying the Trailing Edge of the Printing Area on the Dryer
When Performing Continuous Printing of Two or More Pages
When youre performing continuous printing and take-up for two or more pages, give attention to the following
points.
➢If the setting to execute automatic cutoff of the media can be made on the computer, then turn this setting off.
Making the setting on the computer to execute automatic cutoff of the media results in media cutoff after each
page is printed. (If the media clamps are installed, the clamps are detected and the cutoff operation is not
performed.) Take-up quits as soon as the media is cut off.
➢On the computer, set the margin from the print-end position to the next print-start position (the page spac-
ing) to 40 millimeters or more. Setting this to a value of less than 40 millimeters may cause the media to be
pulled with undue force and result in printing being interrupted.
