If the address for the ink consumption information in
the EEPROM is garbled and the printer shows the
Ink Out (Ink End) error constantly, the printer sets

communication with any other peripheral devices.
Therefore, it is effective to replace the I/C with a new
one to forcibly overwrite the address with 00H.
