IMPORTANT
  • If the ink cartridges have reached the end of their lives when you are printing on Roll paper, you can replace them with new ink cartridges of the same colour and continue printing.

    The colour tone may be different after the ink cartridge replacement.

  • Check the remaining amount of Roll paper before printing. If there is not enough Roll paper for the page length you want to print, the machine may stop printing in the middle of the print job. Even if the remaining amount of Roll paper is enough to fit your print job, the machine may leave a blank space at the bottom of the printout.
