Emptying the waste bin

The waste bin remains locked in place until it needs emptying. There are two conditions when you should empty the waste bin:

When the front panel displays the following message:

Stopped -- Empty waste bin

When you prepare the printer for shipment or move the printer a long distance, in which case you must use the Utilities mode. See "Front panel".

Note:Each time you remove the waste bin, be sure to empty it completely.

Used ink is nontoxic; it can be treated as normal office waste.

Emptying the waste bin when front panel message displays

Note:The waste bin is locked during normal operation. Do not pull the drawer out unless the front panel message is displayed.

Remove the waste bin by sliding it out. You may have to tug slightly on the waste bin to remove it.
Empty the contents of the waste bin by twisting the bin.
Replace the waste bin back into the printer.

Caution:Do not load used ink into the printer. Reusing waste ink ruins the printhead and invalidates the printer warranty.

Emptying the waste bin before moving the printer

The printer locks the waste bin in place until it needs emptying. However, you can use the Utilities mode to unlock the waste bin so that you can empty it before the front panel message prompts you to do so. See "Utilities mode menu structure" for detailed information about the Utilities mode.

When the printer is on and the Ready message appears in the front panel, press the UTILITIES button. You see this message (Vx.xx is the firmware version number):
Utilities Vx.xx Exit Next
In the Utilities mode, you can scroll through the menu selections using the TEST PRINT button (which corresponds to Next in the first menu window), and execute a function or change a setting using the CLEAN PRINT HEAD button (which corresponds to Exit in the first menu window).
Press the TEST PRINT button several times to scroll through the menu selections until you see this message:
Waste bin Unlock Next
Press the CLEAN PRINT HEAD button to unlock the waste bin.
Empty the waste bin, then replace it back into the printer.
Press the TEST PRINT button until you return to this message.
Utilities Vx.xx Exit Next
Press the CLEAN PRINT HEAD button to exit the Utilities mode.
Wait for Ready to be displayed in the front panel, then turn off the printer. Refer to Moving Your Printer for information on how to prepare the printer for shipment or a long move.
