Warning/Stop Triggers
NOTE If the Ink Tubes System needs to be replaced, this can be
performed by the User.
The Printer will advise the User when the Scan-Axis System and/or
Tubes need to be replaced by displaying a Warning message. The
Warning message is triggered by the following number of cycles:
6.5 million for the Carriage.
6.5 million for the Tubes.
The number of cycles can be checked at anytime by printing the
Service Configuration Print.
NOTE Remember to perform the Reset Life Counters Service Utility
(Refer to Page 4-28), to set the usage cycles to zero for the
worn parts replaced with parts from the Service Preventive
Maintenance Kit. Service preventive maintenance messages will
not disappear until the counter is reset for the part replaced.

depending on which ink system the User has installed).
