The printer stops even if printing isin progress, and it will not operate until the maintenance cartridge is replaced with a new one.The maintenance cartridge incorporates an EEPROM. The engine firmware reads and writes the contents of the EEPROM to control the maintenance cartridgestatus.F-2-162.3.2.7 Air Flow2.3.2.7.1 Air flow0013-4162This printer has two fans, a mist fan used to collect mist and a suction fan used to suck media onto the platen.Ink mist that floats inside the printer and ink splashes from the media are collected in the filter through the front duct and the air flow path inside the printer by thedriving of the mist fan, thus preventing mist from discharged outside the printer.Sub capPurge motorPush rollersTo maintenance cartridge.The ink from the sub cap flows to the absorbentmaterial under the purge unit.Pump encoderPump cam sensorCapPump unitCapInk tubesSuction pumpMaintenance Cartridge
