3.6 WORKING WITH MUTOH’S SMARTCHIP MANAGEMENT
SYSTEM
3.6.1 Introduction
To be able to print, ink volume has to be transferred to the printer. If not, the file will not be launched.
In case of using ink cassettes, the ink volume is written onto the smartchips which are stuck to the ink
cassette. The ink volume will be automatically transferred to the printer when working in the correct mode.
In case of working with Mutoh’s Bulk Ink System, no smartchips are attached to the bulk ink cartridges;
therefore when ordering bulk ink bottles, smartchips will be foreseen. These contain the necessary ink
volume for this particular bottle.
It is possible to transfer the ink volume from these smartchips to the printer via the smart chip management
system (slot above the printer’s keyboard). After the transfer, you will be able to print as long there is ink
volume left.

Important
Do not pull any SmartChip cards from ink cassettes to use them in the reader. The ink volume on
the SmartChip cards of the cassettes can be transferred to the SmartChip management system by
scanning them one by one. Please find in the next coming chapters more info.
