The ink absorber life* is 2
years or less.
Criteria 2:
The ink absorber counter
value is 80% or more.

The estimated number of months until the ink absorber will become full
< How to judge >
Print the EEPROM information, and check the "D" and "Dp" (ink absorber counter) and "DF" (ink absorber
life) values.
Step 1: Is "D" or "Dp" 80% or more?
Step 2: Is "DF" 24 or more?
Note: If the "ST" (installation date) value is 2011/07/31 earlier, the "DF" (ink absorber life) value
is incorrect. Skip Step 2.
The ink absorber life is an estimated value calculated based on the user's machine
usage.
