❏
For optimum print results do not maintain low ink levels for extended periods of time.
❏
To obtain optimum printing results, refill the ink tanks to the upper line at least once every year.
❏
If the ink tank is not filled up to the lower line, refill the ink soon. Prolonged use of the printer when the ink
level is below the lower line could damage the printer.
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. This is because a mixture of color inks is used to create black.
❏
The 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. This one-off 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.
