Comment
The ink of the J006 shares the same characteristics (pigment
inks) as those of the previous models. However, J006
cartridges are available in two sizes only, not three, and the
capacity of the cartridges has been increased. Further, each
J006 print cartridge is equipped with its own ID chip.

The "Starter" cartridges provided with the printer for installation.
An ID chip [C] is attached to the back of each ink cartridge. This chip performs the
following functions:
•
Each chip monitors the amount of ink remaining in its cartridge. This improves
the accuracy of monitoring the ink supply level because information about each
cartridge can now be displayed up to 5 levels.
•
The chip also detects and reports whether each cartridge is mounted correctly.
The individual display precisely indicates which cartridge needs attention.
•
The chips also store the manufacturing code number, the date the cartridge was
first installed.
