You can refill ink easily without the risk of spilling ink.
On the operator panel tap on the [Inks] icon on the right. You see an overview of the ink bottles and levels of remaining ink:
Read the messages above the ink bottles to understand the status of the ink level and the ink bottles. The message indicates when ink is running out or is of the wrong colour, bottles are not present, wrong, invalid or expired.
When the operator panel gives an orange warning, a bottle is not present, invalid, wrong or expired, or it is advised to refill ink for a specific colour as the ink is running out.
When the operator panel gives a red warning, you must refill ink for a specific colour. The printing process is stopped until you have refilled the ink.
For more detailed information on the status, tap the blue information icon at the top right hand corner.
When one of the indicator lights located next to the bottles are on (not blinking), you can refill ink for a specific colour.
The order of the bottles from left to right is YCMK.
When you see ink pollution, immediately clean the affected area. For more information, see Clean the ink unit.
