If the Contents of the Drain Bottle Are Not Visible
Sometimes, ink affixes to the inside of the drain bottle, which makes it difficult to check the amount of discharged fluid. In this situation, clean the inside of the drain bottle by using one of the following procedures.
Remove the drain bottle, which you will clean, from the machine.
Attach another drain bottle (included) to the machine.
Scrape the inside of the drain bottle clean using one of the included cleaning sticks.
Dispose of used cleaning sticks. They cannot be used for any other cleaning.
If this method is not effective, proceed to the next step.
Dispose of the discharged fluid, leaving about 2 to 3 cm (0.8 to 1.2 inches) of it in the bottom of the bottle.
Securely cap the drain bottle.
Gently shake the drain bottle to wet the inside of the bottle with the discharged fluid.
Tilt the drain bottle to make the entirety of the inside of the bottle wet.
Stand the bottle upright and leave it for 1 to 2 hours.
If the inside of the bottle is not cleaned sufficiently of ink stains, repeat steps 6 and 7.
