iii. Attach new absorbers (QC2-9603/QC2-9604) to the printer.
Insert QC2-9603 into A; then slide QC2-9603 to B and then, insert QC2-9604.
iv. Set the ink absorber counter value to 40%
2) Whole replacement
Remove the external housing and printer unit, then replace all the ink absorbers (total: 6).
The ink absorber counter value must be reset to 0%.
(Time required: Approx. 60 min. including the operation check after replacement)
< Estimation of the ink absorber life >
For your reference in servicing, the estimated number of months until the ink absorber will
become full is given in EEPROM information print.
Sample: DF = 00165 (It indicates that there will be 165 months before the ink absorber
becomes full.)
Note: 1. In the following cases, estimation of the ink absorber life will not be properly given:
- The printer is not connected to a computer.
- The time is not properly set in the computer.
- The ink absorber counter has been reset (to zero) before.
Reason: The ink absorber life is calculated using data of the printer installation
2. The ink absorber life is calculated based on the user's usage (frequency of printing,
printed items, etc.) before EEPROM information print (i.e. before repair servicing).
It will vary according to the user's usage after EEPROM information print (i.e. after
repair servicing).
date and the current ink counter value.
Data of the printer installation date is updated when the printer is
connected to a computer.
(25/37)
(so that the printer can absorb 60% more).
