Cartridge recognition
The printer is designed to use only cartridges specific to your printer model. To elimi-
nate potential damage to the printer, a cartridge recognition feature checks to ensure that
the proper cartridges are installed, and that they are installed properly. Cartridge recogni-
tion is performed when a print request is received (i.e., image data, prime, etc.).
In addition to cartridge recognition, the printer automatically performs tests on the
cartridges and uses the information to improve image quality, monitor cartridge life, and
update the user with system status. Some tests are performed between prints and require
no user input, while others require user input.
