Expiration message.
NOTE In order to determine the correct date, the Printer reads the
information sent with a print file which includes the current
date. The printer will then compare this date to the expiration
date on the Ink Cartridge.
1 Replace the Ink Cartridge that has reached the expiration date.
2 Check the expiration date of the Ink Cartridge, see page Page 3-9,
Obtaining Ink Cartridge Information. If, for example, todays date is
02-Nov-00 and the expiration date of the Ink Cartridge is 07-Jun-01,
then the customers computer should be checked to see if the correct
date is configured.
