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.

How to Check Ink Level

See Opening the Printer Properties Dialog Box Directly from the Start Menu

If the ink level becomes low, the low ink warning is displayed when printing is performed.

Open the BJ Printer Utility, and then select Ink Level Information from the pop-up menu.

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 that you treat both counters separately.
