3.4.1 Ink cassette behaviour

Please read this chapter thoroughly to know the behaviour of a Mutoh ink cassette used with the

Rockhopper 3 Extreme series printers.

An ink cassette contains 220 or 440 ml of ink. The amount of ink left in the cassette is monitored by the

smart chip installed on the cassette. During printing, two ink related messages can be displayed:

Ink Near End – message

This message will be displayed when there is only 6 % of ink left in the ink cassette. The numbers between

the [ ] marks correspond the near empty ink cassettes.

You can print until the [Ink End]-message is displayed. Be sure to have a new cassette at hand.

Ink End – message

This message will be displayed when the flag (2) in the cassette comes out. The cassette has to be changed

as soon as possible. The printer will stop all actions. No further action can be taken until you have done the

replacement. The numbers between the [ ] marks correspond the near empty ink cassettes.
