About the [EMPTY MODE]
When replacement of the ink cartridge becomes necessary while printing is in progress, this setting determines whether printing
continues or pauses.
This setting is used when the ink cartridge cannot be changed immediately during printing, such as during unattended operation at night.
[LATER] causes printing to continue without pause even if ink refilling becomes necessary. Printing continues with the small amount of
ink remaining, so the printed image may become faint as the ink runs out. In general, it should possible to perform about 1 m
2
(10 ft
2
) of
printing once this message appears, although the actual varies widely according to the amount of ink needed for the particular image.
Printing is continued only for the data currently being printed. Operation stops after one image is output.
[PROMPT] causes operation to pause immediately when the ink cartridge needs to be changed. Printing is resumed by replacing the
cartridge . Please note, however, that the colors of an image in progress may no longer be perfectly matched if the unit is allowed to
remain paused for two or three hours before resuming printing.
