1 Status indicators
The status of the chip unit and the indicators
that estimate and display the amount of ink is
shown as follows.
: It is estimated that there is enough
ink in the ink tank to print with no
problems.
The number of indicator levels
decreases according to the
estimated amount of ink.
: The amount of ink is estimated to
be low.
Prepare a new ink pack.
: The estimated amount of ink is near
its limits. Check the amount of ink,
and replace the chip unit and refill
the ink with one pack of ink if the
remaining ink is 70 mm or less from
the bottom of the ink tank. If the
remaining ink is more than 70 mm
from the bottom of the ink tank,
continue to use the printer until it is
below 70 mm before replacing and
refilling.
: Printing has stopped because the
estimate amount of ink has reached
its limits.
Replace the chip unit and refill the
ink with one pack of ink.
The bottom of the indicators changes according
to the status of the chip unit, as shown below.
Introduction

* When a chip unit is mounted on the printer, the
information about the available amount of ink in the ink
pack that is registered to the new chip unit is automatically
written to the printer. Writing the chip unit information to
the printer is called "charging".
When charging is complete, the indicator levels become
full, and the icon for the charge status turns gray. After
charging, the chip unit that was mounted on the printer is
no longer needed.
Charging occurs automatically when the indicator level
reaches 0 if you remove a chip unit that is no longer
needed and replace it with a new chip unit.
Mounting a new chip unit on the printer to do automatic
charging is called "reserving".
Reserving can be done at any time if the indicator's level
for the estimated amount of ink is between 1 and 6.

When the estimated amount of ink
