However, major printers that are currently on sale have following problems and it makes difficult to use printers in maritime industry.

· Region code is set and ink cartridges other than printer purchasing country can not be used

   ->It is necessary to arrange ink cartridges from purchasing country, not a port where vessel calls.

· When printer's model changed by replacement/repair, previous ink cartridges can not be used.

   ->It wastes of ship inventory.
