* The ink remaining amount in the ink pouch cannot be checked neither with RIP software nor in the Main Menu on the Operation Panel.
In other words, there is no “INK REMAINING” menu in the Menu List.
* The sensor detects empty only when the ink in the sub tank runs out.
1. When an ink pouch is installed,
approx.100cc of ink moves to the
sub tank.
2. Then ink will be supplied only from
the ink pouch.

3. When the ink pouch is removed,
the valve closes, and the sub tank
becomes active.
