Many full-page color images are printed. In print jobs such as photos, images are lled with
color. This consumes a lot of ink. This does not
indicate a problem with the printer.
Head Cleaning B is used often. Head Cleaning B consumes a lot of ink. This does
not indicate a problem with the printer. Unless the
printer has been moved or stored for a long period
or you are troubleshooting Printhead problems, we
recommend not performing
Head Cleaning B , to
the extent possible.
You have just nished initial installation, when more
ink is consumed to ll the system. After initial installation or at the rst-time use after
transfer, ink ows into the system between the Ink
Tank and Printhead , which may cause the ink level
indicators to drop to 80%. This does not indicate a
problem with the printer.
