D = Main ink absorber

Dp = Platen ink absorber (AW: platen ink absorber away, HM: platen ink absorber home)

DL = Ink absorber Life (DL=00014 signifies that the main ink absorber has a 14-month remaining life.

Note:

• • 1. If D=100.00 is reached, the Main Ink Absorber Kit must be replaced/cleaned. After that, the Main Ink Absorber Counter must be reset.
    2. If Dp AW is 100.0, then the Platen absorber must first be cleaned. After that, the Platen absorber counter must again be reset.
    3. If Dp HM 100.0, then the Platen absorber must first be cleaned. After that, the Platen absorber counter must again be reset.

• • • Clear Ink Counter. Select ALL (2), then click RESET (3). This will reset the Main and Platen counters to zero. The counter value will be printed automatically after the ink absorber counter has been reset. Wait for the printer’s final print.
    • After resetting, click EEPROM (1) again. Wait for the printer’s final print. Compare EEPROM information before reset and after reset. Look at D, Dp AW and Dp HM. Compare the D, Dp.AW and Dp.HM values before and after reset.
    • If everything goes well, close the Service Tool and turn off your printer.
