The following Q & A will help you understand more about the printer.
Question Answer
What happens when an ink out occurs?
The printer prints all data in the line being
printed when the ink out signal is received;
then it stops printing.
With two ink cartridges (main color and sub
color), how does the printer work if only
one cartridge is empty?
The printer stops printing. If either one of
the ink cartridges is empty, it is impossible
to continue printing.
If one color is never used for printing, the
color ink isn’t consumed?
No. Even if one color is never used, both ink
head nozzles are cleaned periodically. The
cleaning consumes a small amount of ink.
Disposed ink absorption material is
provided only for the sub color side. if only
the main color is used frequently, might the
capacity of the ink absorption material
exceed its tolerance?
No. If the only the main color is used
frequently, cleaning of the sub color is also
performed, which reduces the sub color ink.
If the sub-color is never used for printing
and all ink is used only by cleaning while
the main color ink is replaced a few times,
there will be enough disposed ink
absorption material capacity until the sub
color ends.
What happens when a pump unit reaches
the end of its life (when a message of pump
unit life end is printed)?
The life of the pump unit is approximately
twice as much as that of the printer; usually
the pump unit will last 10 years.
