Out-of-ink Warnings
When an ink pouch runs out, printing pauses and a warning beep sounds. For structural ink, slot 5 is paired with slot 6, and slot 7 is paired with slot 8. If one slot in a pair runs out of ink, the ink from the other slot is automatically supplied. Printing with structural ink only pauses when both slots in a pair run out of ink.
Pull out the empty ink cartridge and insert a new one. Printing is resumed.
Never reuse an ink cartridge for which the machine shows a sign indicating no ink.
Occasionally the machine will show a sign indicating no ink even if there is a small amount of ink remaining in the cartridge, but nevertheless do not use it. Such an ink cartridge is in a state where drawing ink from it is impossible. Using it in such a state may force air into the ink path and cause printer malfunctions.
Preventing Sedimentation in Inks
The precipitation of the ingredients in the ink disables printing in normal color. Be sure to gently shake the ink cartridges so that the ink mixes well. Ink cartridges do not need to be shaken before every operation, but be sure to shake them when installing new ones.
