Waste Ink Disposal Guidelines

When you see the Prepare empty waste ink bottle message on the printer's LCD screen, you need to

replace the waste ink bottle according to these guidelines:

• Dispose of the entire waste ink bottle; do not pour waste ink into another container.

• Never remove the waste ink bottle during printing, print head cleaning, ink tube washing, or

replacement of the White ink. Waste ink may leak.

• The printer calculates the amount of waste ink in the waste ink bottle and displays a warning message

when it is close to the limit. If the waste ink bottle fills up during printing, replace it with a new waste ink

bottle. When you see a message on the control panel to clear the waste ink counter, press the OK

button to clear the counter and continue printing.

Note: Do not clear the waste ink counter unless you replaced the waste ink bottle. Otherwise the

waste ink bottle replacement time will not be calculated correctly.

Warning: Always wear protective eye wear and gloves when disposing of waste ink. If any ink gets on

your skin or gets into your eyes or mouth, immediately take the following actions:

• If ink gets on your skin, immediately wash it off using soapy water. Consult a physician if the skin

appears irritated or discolored.

• If ink gets in your eyes, rinse immediately with water. Failure to observe this precaution could result in

bloodshot eyes or mild inflammation. If problems persist, consult a physician.
