Maintenance of Ink Cartridges

The precipitation of the ingredients in the ink disables printing in normal color. When replacing an ink cartridge, so that the ink mixes well, shake the ink cartridge 50 times (about 20 seconds) horizontally with a stroke length of around 5 cm (1.97 in.) from each end of the ink cartridge before inserting it.

IMPORTANT
  • Before shaking the ink cartridge, wipe off any ink from around its mouth. If you do not wipe off the ink, it may splatter when you shake the ink cartridge.
  • When you have finished shaking the ink cartridge, immediately install the ink cartridge. Taking time to reattach the ink cartridge will adversely affect the ink path.
