Setting ink cartridges
Setting for 1-way high-speed printing
New piezo electric heads, the staggered-layout print head provides more attractive, faster
printing, and allows ultra high-precisions 8-head 1-way printing. Set the left and right ink car-
tridge cases with ink cartridges of the same types and same colors.

•Set ink cartridges of the same type and same color to 1 and A, 2 and B, 3 and
C, 4 and D, 5 and E, 6 and F, 7 and G, and 8 and H, respectively.
• During initial ink setting or ink change, register the appropriate ink type for
each ink station (See page 4.26). The registered ink type is necessary when
checking the printing information and changing the heads used.
• When two sets of ink of the same type are set in the two ink stations, it is
possible to use the function which, if the ink in the ink station currently used
runs out during printing, switches from that ink station to the other ink station
to permit the printing operation to be continued without interruption (See page
3.24).
Setting for 2-way multi printing
Alternatively, using two sets of three heads in 2-way printing mode, each with different inks,
gives you the functionality of two 8-color printers in a single unit. Set the left and right ink
cartridge cases with ink cartridges of different types and colors. Set ink cartridges of different
types and colors to 1 through 8 and A through H.
