Requirements for Infrared Transmission with the Computer
Printing through infrared transmission can be performed under Windows XP, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows 98 or Windows 95. In order to use infrared transmission, your computer must satisfy the following requirements:
Computer CPU IrDA Baud rate (transmission speed) Infrared transmisssion devices
IBM PC/AT or compatible machine
Intel Pentium or higher
IrDA 1.1 compliant
Max. 4 Mbps
·Infrared transmission port incorporated in the computer ·Infrared port (OBEX compliant) of the PDA (Personal Digital Assistants)
11
Basic Printing
Note
z When using other than Windows 95, Windows 98 or later must have been pre-installed and Microsoft Infrared Communication Driver must be installed on your computer.
z When using Windows 95, IrDA 1.0 (baud rate: max. 115.2 kbps) is used for data transmission. In this case, Microsoft Infrared Communications Driver Version 2.0 must be installed in your computer. Refer to your computer's operation manual for more details.
z When using Windows 98 or Windows 95, check whether the infrared transmission driver has been installed. To activate the infrared port, carry out the following operation:
1.Click Start, then click Settings and Control Panel.
2.Check whether the Infrared icon is displayed in the window. If this icon is displayed, the required infrared driver has already been installed. Refer to your computer's operation manual for more details.
3.Double-click the Infrared icon.
4.Check the Enable infrared communication. check box is on (Windows 98) or Enable infrared on: check box (Windows 95) is on. If the check box is not selected, select it.

Replacing an Ink Tank
When an ink tank runs out of ink, replace it using the following steps.
1 Ensure that the printer is on, and then open the print head cover.
The print head holder moves to the center.
2 Remove the empty ink tank.
(1)Push the tab. (2)Remove the ink tank.
Important
z Handle ink tanks carefully to avoid staining clothing or the surrounding area.
z Discard empty ink tanks according to the local laws and regulations regarding disposal of consumables.

3 Prepare a replacement ink tank.
Printing Maintenance
(1) Unpack a new ink tank and remove the orange protective cap.
Important z Do not re-attach the protective cap once you have removed it. z Once the protective cap is removed, do not touch the open ink port.
4 Insert the ink tank.
(1) Insert a new ink tank with it slightly slanted. (2) Push down on the on the ink tank until it clicks into place.
5 Close the print head cover.
The print head holder moves to the right.
Note
z To maintain optimal print quality, use an ink tank within six months of its first use.
z Once an ink tank has been used, do not remove it from the printer and leave it out in the open. This will cause the ink tank to dry out and the printer may not function properly if it is reinstalled.
z Color ink consumption may occur even when black-and-white or grayscale printing is specified. Color ink is consumed in the head cleaning and deep cleaning, which are necessary to maintain the printer's capabilities.
z When an ink tank runs out of ink, replace the ink tank with a new one immediately. If printing is continued with no ink in the ink tank, a trouble may occur.

Resetting the Ink Counter
When an ink tank is replaced, the ink counter must be reset. The low ink warning is only displayed properly if the ink counter is reset.
Message Prompting Confirmation of Ink Tank Replacement
When printing is started after replacement of a black or color ink tank, a confirmation message is displayed to ask whether the ink tank has been replaced. After replacement of an ink tank, reset the ink counter following the procedure described below.
Note
Infrared transmission is performed in Windows XP or Windows 2000, the printer will not output the message asking for confirmation of ink tank replacement. This is why it is important to open the printer driver's Properties dialog box and manually reset the ink tank counter in the Maintenance tab whenever an ink tank is replaced.

How Low Ink Warning Setting Works
The low ink warning notifies you of low ink levels during printing. The Low Ink Warning has been preset to be automatically displayed.
When you reset the ink counter, it will assume the ink tank is full regardless of how much ink actually remains. The reset is the only way to match the counter value with an actual ink volume. Reset the ink counter when installing a new ink tank.
Low Ink Warning Display
The '!' shows a low ink level in the ink tank.
BJ Status Monitor (Windows)
BJ Status Dialog (Macintosh)
The color ink becomes low.
How to Display Low Ink Warning Correctly
· Reset the ink counter every time you install a new ink tank
The ink counter cannot work correctly unless you synchronize it with the actual ink level. The ink counter can only be adjusted when it is reset at the time a new ink tank is installed.
· Do not reset the ink counter of an ink tank in use.
Synchronization of the counter and the actual ink level will not work properly.
Important
If you did not reset the counter when you installed the current ink tanks, the low ink warning may not function correctly, until the next time you replace the ink tanks. Also, ensure you treat both counters separately. Refer to "Low Ink Warning Accompanied by Ink Tank Icon With '?'" on page 55.
