Mimaki JF-1631 - What happens if ink cartridge runs out in middle of a job?

[TrustMoore_TN]

To my JF-1631 Band of Brothers out there (The few & the Frustrasted)...
I'm getting ready to print 40+ 4x8 sheets with pretty heavy ink coverage and I have 5 cartridges with 2% ink left in them. Typically, I'll pull those and set them aside to use when I have a smaller job to run, but it made me wonder what would happen if they ran out in the middle of a job. Does the printer kill the job, or does it just pause it and require the new cartridge, then continue? Since its not like the JV33's which have 2x CMYK that can run out and start pulling from a different cart, there are 2 each of CMYK heads. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

I don't personally have experience with the JF-1631, but my partner Dave does. He is currently unavailable for a few days, but if it is like any other Mimaki machine when an ink cartridge runs out it will beep and return to local. You should be able to replace the cartridge and continue printing by pressing remote.

Good luck!
