Checking the Ink Status
You can check the ink status on the computer screen or with the
Ink
lamps on the Operation Panel.
Note
The ink level detector is mounted on the machine to detect the remaining ink level. The machine
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.
With the Ink Lamps on the Operation Panel
Make sure that the LED is in the standby mode. You can confirm the status of each FINE Cartridge by the
Ink
lamps.
