This function can only be run when the printer is in a
ready state.
If an error occurs at the printer, the Maintenance menu
cannot be displayed.
This function not only uses cleaning fluid and
Orange/Orange Plus ink, but also Yellow ink.
First, replace the ink cartridge with a cleaning cartridge.
Eject the ink charged in the printer, and then clean the
printer with cleaning fluid. Next, charge the printer with
the ink to be used next. Due to the construction of the
ink system of the printer, ink ejection and charging is
carried out with two colors simultaneously.

Although you want to use up the installed ink (Orange/

recommend changing the ink as soon as possible after
the ink level warning (Ink Low) appears on the screen of
the control panel.

Precautions after Running
Change Orange Ink
❏If the color appears to have changed when
reprinting print data that was created before the
orange ink type was changed, create a profile
specifically for the type of orange ink you use, and
then create print data again.
❏When you want to change the type of orange ink
again, run Change Orange Ink again.
U“Changing Orange Ink” on page 4
❏Each time Orange and Orange Plus ink are
changed, ink (Orange/Orange Plus and Yellow)
and cleaning fluid are used. We recommend
printing print data that uses the same type of orange
ink at the same time to reduce the number of
changes.
