How do I change the Maintenance box on my product?

Maintenance Box Handling Precautions

Read the following instructions before replacing the maintenance box.

  • Do not drop the maintenance box or subject it to strong shocks.
  • Do not replace the maintenance box during printing; otherwise, ink may leak.
  • Do not remove the maintenance box or open its cover except when replacing the maintenance box; otherwise ink may leak.
  • Do not reuse a maintenance box which has been removed and left detached for a long period. Ink inside the box will have solidified and no more ink can be absorbed.
  • Do not tilt the used maintenance box until after it is sealed in the plastic bag; otherwise ink may leak.
  • Do not store the maintenance box in high or freezing temperatures.
  • Keep the maintenance box out of direct sunlight.
  • Do not drop the maintenance box or subject it to strong shocks.
  • Do not touch the openings in the maintenance box as you may get smeared with ink.
  • If you are using a maintenance box that is near the end of its service life, you may need to replace it while printing. If you replace the maintenance box while printing, especially on glossy paper, colours on the printout may be uneven depending on how the ink dries. For best results, we recommend replacing the cartridge before printing.
  1. Remove the new maintenance box from its package.
    IMPORTANT:

    Do not touch the green chip on the side of the maintenance box. Doing so may prevent normal operation and printing.
  2. Lift up paper cassette 2 slightly to pull it out.

  3. Open the control panel.

  4. Loosen the screw with a flat-head screwdriver, and then remove the cover.

  5. Remove the used maintenance box.

    IMPORTANT:

    Do not touch the sections shown in the illustration. Doing so may prevent normal operation and you may get smeared with ink.
  6. Put the used maintenance box in the transparent bag that came with the new maintenance box and seal the bag shut.

  7. Insert the new maintenance box all the way into the printer.

    IMPORTANT:

    Insert the tabs on the cover into the slots, and then tighten the screw. If the cover is not installed correctly, ink may leak.
  8. Reattach the cover.
  9. Insert paper cassette 2.
  10. Tap Done on the control panel.
    IMPORTANT:

    If the maintenance box is not recognised, try installing it again. If it is still not recognised, replace the maintenance box. Once a maintenance box has been installed in a printer it cannot be used with other printers.
