UtilityMessage_WasteLiquid

Prepare a replacement drain pack or replace the existing drain pack by following the displayed message.

CAUTION

Before you remove the drain cartridge, wait for a message to be displayed in Utility.

Failing to follow this procedure may cause discharged fluid to flow out of the tube and spill, soiling your hands or the floor.

Wipe off any ink that has adhered around the hole in the lid of the drain cartridge.

Also, if you know that you will not use the machine for a prolonged period, follow the procedure below to replace the drain pack.

WARNING

Never place the drain cartridge or ink near an open flame.

Doing so may cause a fire.

  5. Insert a new drain pack into the drain cartridge.

    Insert the drain pack so its hole is on the opposite side to the handle of the drain cartridge.

    IMPORTANT

    Do not reuse drain packs.

    Doing so makes it impossible to manage the amount of discharged fluid, which may overflow.

    IMPORTANT

    Do not touch the drain pack's hole. Ink may adhere to whatever touches this hole.

    IMPORTANT

    Dispose of discharged fluid properly, in accordance with the laws in effect in your locale.

    Discharged fluid is flammable and contains toxic ingredients. Never attempt to incinerate discharged fluid or discard it with ordinary trash. Also, do not dispose of it in sewer systems, rivers, or streams. Doing so may have an adverse impact on the environment.
