Since the information contained in the fax may be lost if it is printed in this condition, the received fax will not be printed and will be stored in the machine's memory until the ink is replaced. You must manually print out faxes that were stored in the memory.

You can change the setting so that the received fax is forcibly printed out instead of being stored in the memory, but all or part of the fax information may not be printed because of the ink out condition.

Caution

Do not remove an ink tank until a new one is prepared to be installed.

- Once you remove an ink tank, the machine will not operate until a new one is installed.

- Once you remove an ink tank, the machine will not operate even if the removed ink tank is just reinstalled.

Cause and solution

Support Code=1660

⋖Cause⋗

The ink tank is not installed.

⋖Action⋗

Install the ink tank.

When you need to replace an ink tank, follow the procedure below.

Caution

If you remove an ink tank, replace it immediately. Do not leave the machine with the ink tank removed.

Use a new ink tank for replacement. Installing a used ink tank may cause the nozzles to clog. Furthermore, with such an ink tank, the machine will not be able to inform you when to replace the ink tank 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.

Caution

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 performance of the machine. When an ink tank is out of ink, replace it immediately with a new one.

1. Make sure that the power is turned on, then open the front cover.

The replaceable ink tank is displayed on the touch screen and the print head holder (A) moves to the replacement position of that ink tank.
