- Replacing Procedure
When you need to replace ink tanks, follow the procedure below.
IMPORTANT
Handling ink
- If you remove an ink tank, replace it immediately. Do not leave the machine with ink tanks removed.
- Use new ink tanks for replacement. Installing used ink tanks may cause the nozzles to clog. Furthermore, with such ink tanks, the machine will not be able to inform you when to replace the ink tanks properly.
- Once an ink tank has been installed, do not remove it from the machine and leave it out in the open. This will cause the ink tank to dry out, and the machine may not operate properly when it is reinstalled. To maintain optimal printing quality, use an ink tank within six months of first use.
NOTE
- Color ink may be consumed even when printing a black-and-white document or when black-and-white printing is specified. Every ink is also consumed in the standard cleaning and deep cleaning of the Print Head, which may be necessary to maintain the machine's performance. When an ink tank is out of ink, replace it immediately with a new one.
1. Make sure that the power is turned on, and open the Paper Output Tray gently.
2. Lift the Scanning Unit (Cover) until it stops.
The Print Head Holder moves to the replacement position.
ATTENTION
- Do not hold the Print Head Holder to stop or move it forcibly. Do not touch the Print Head Holder until it stops completely.
IMPORTANT
- Do not place any object on the Document Cover. It will fall into the Rear Tray when the Document Cover is opened and cause the machine to malfunction.
- Be sure to lift the Scanning Unit (Cover) with the Document Cover closed.
- Do not touch the metallic parts or other parts inside the machine.
- If the Scanning Unit (Cover) is left open for more than 10 minutes, the Print Head Holder moves to the right. In this case, close and reopen the Scanning Unit (Cover).
3. Remove the ink tank with the lamp flashing fast.
Push the tab (A) and lift the ink tank to remove.
Do not touch the Print Head Lock Lever (B).
IMPORTANT
- Handle the ink tank carefully to avoid staining of clothing or the surrounding area.
- Discard the empty ink tank according to the local laws and regulations regarding disposal of consumables.
NOTE
- Do not remove two or more ink tanks at the same time. Be sure to replace ink tanks one by one when replacing two or more ink tanks.
- For details on ink lamp flashing speed, see [ Checking the Ink Status ]
4. Prepare the new ink tank.
(1) Take a new ink tank out of its package, remove the orange tape ( 
) completely, then remove the protective film ( 
) completely.
IMPORTANT

(2) Hold the ink tank with the orange protective cap (D) pointing up while being careful not to block the L-shape air hole (C).
(3) Slowly twist the orange protective cap (D) 90 degrees horizontally to remove it off.
IMPORTANT
- Do not push the sides of the ink tank. If you push the sides of the ink tank with the L-shape air hole (C) blocked, ink may splash.
- Do not touch the inside of the orange protective cap (D) or the open ink port (E). The ink may stain your hands if you touch them.
- Do not reattach the protective cap (D) once you have removed it. Discard it according to the local laws and regulations regarding disposal of consumables.
5. Install the new ink tank.
(1) Insert the front end of ink tank into the Print Head at a slant.
Make sure that the position of the ink tank matches the label.
(2) Press the mark 
(Push) on the ink tank until the ink tank snaps firmly into place.
Make sure that the ink lamp lights up red.
IMPORTANT
- You cannot print if the ink tank is installed in the wrong position. Be sure to install the ink tank in the correct position according to the label on the Print Head Holder.
- You cannot print unless all the ink tanks are installed. Be sure to install all the ink tanks.
6. Lift the Scanning Unit (Cover) slightly, and then close it gently.
NOTE
- If the error message appears after the Scanning Unit (Cover) is closed, refer to [ An Error Message Is Displayed on the LCD ]
- When you start printing after replacing the ink tank, the machine starts cleaning the Print Head automatically. Do not perform any other operations until the machine completes the cleaning of the Print Head.

Items to Prepare
The following items are needed to print onto the printable disc:- Disc Tray
"G" is on the upper side.
- 3.15 inches / 8 cm Disc Adapter
Needed only when printing on 3.15 inches / 8 cm printable discs.
Attached to the Disc Tray when shipped.
IMPORTANT
- You need to print from the computer to print on 3.15 inches / 8 cm printable discs.
- Printable Discs
Obtain a 4.72 inches / 12 cm or 3.15 inches / 8 cm printable disc with a label surface compatible with inkjet printing.
A "printable disc" differs from regular BD/DVD/CDs in that its label surface has been specially processed to be printed on by an inkjet printer.
Cautions When Printing on the Disc Label
- Be sure to use the Disc Tray supplied with this machine. It has an "G" on the upper side.
- Do not print on printable discs that are not compatible with inkjet printing. The ink will not dry and may cause problems with the disc itself or devices which the disc is loaded onto.
- Do not print on the printable discs' recording surface. Doing so will make data recorded on discs unreadable.
- Hold the printable discs by their edges. Do not touch either the label surface (printing surface) or recording surface.
- Remove any dirt from the Disc Tray before placing printable discs on the Disc Tray. Loading discs in a dirty Disc Tray may scratch the recording surface of the discs.
- After printing, allow the printing surface of the disc to dry naturally. Do not use hairdryers or expose the disc to direct sunlight to dry the ink. Do not touch the printing surface until the ink has dried.
- Do not attach the Disc Tray while the machine is in operation.
- Do not remove the Disc Tray while printing on printable discs. Doing so may damage the machine, the Disc Tray, or the disc.
- Do not get dirt or scratches on the reflectors of the Disc Tray. The machine may not be able to recognize loading of the printable disc, or printing may become misaligned. If the reflectors on the Disc Tray become dirty, wipe the reflector clean with a soft, dry cloth, taking care not to scratch the plate.
- The Disc Tray may become dirty if software other than CD-LabelPrint or Easy-PhotoPrint EX is used.
- Always use the supplied 3.15 inches / 8 cm Disc Adapter when printing on 3.15 inches / 8 cm printable discs.
- Always close the Inner Cover after printing on printable discs.
- To keep the print quality at an optimal level, it is recommended to stop printing discs once every ten discs when printing more than ten discs continuously. To stop the printing operation, detach the Disc Tray from the machine, then close the Inner Cover. After approximately three minutes have elapsed, open the Inner Cover, attach the Disc Tray to the machine, then resume printing.
