reserve.
Ink consumption
❏ To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from all ink tanks during maintenance
operations such as print head cleaning. Ink may also be consumed when you turn the printer on.
❏ When printing in monochrome or grayscale, color inks instead of black ink may be used depending on the
paper type or print quality settings. is is because a mixture of color inks is used to create black.
❏ e ink in the ink bottles supplied with your printer is partly used during initial setup. In order to produce high
quality printouts, the print head in your printer will be fully charged with ink. is one-o process consumes a
quantity of ink and therefore these bottles may print fewer pages compared to subsequent ink bottles.
❏ Quoted yields may vary depending on the images that you are printing, the paper type that you are using, the
frequency of your prints and environmental conditions such as temperature.
