TIB 845: Discontinued waste bottle sensor of RJ-900 (X, XG, U)

Modified on Tue, 20 Sep, 2022 at 10:42 AM

Due to a discontinuation in production the waste bottle sensor used in the RJ-900X printer family is no longer available.

A new sensor has been sourced and will be introduced in production as of below mentioned serial number.

For older serial numbers a "waste ink box sensor replacement kit" has been defined to be able to mount the new part(s) in older printers.

Since this new sensor has a different connector, a new revision of the waste liquid sensor cable has also been introduced.


The old part numbers will remain available until depletion stock.


The spare parts list will be updated accordingly.
