Notes
The DrafStation ink cartridges have been developed in such a way that miss-insertion is not possible. For
each colour, a different design is used, i.e., fins are placed at the outside of each cartridge, at different
locations, depending on the ink colour used.
Result:
The operation panel displays "Ink Refill **min", and the initial ink replenishment starts.
The ink replenishment takes about five minutes. Initial ink replenishment and pause
operation are repeated during initial filling.
After the ink replenishment is completed, the operation panel displays "Paper End".
Notes
After an initial ink fill, the following can occur :
If this is the case, perform a head cleaning, two to three times, as described in the Users Guide, and
check the results. If the quality of the printed image has not improved, even after performing head
cleaning, then leave the plotter unused for more than one hour. After that, perform a head cleaning again
and check the printed image. If the quality still hasnt improved, than contact your local MUTOH dealer.
