Are you printing a large file?
The ink levels displayed in the printer software are not updated during a print job; they represent the ink level at the beginning of a print job. The ink levels may seem inconsistent in the Printing Status window when you are printing a large file.
Ink levels seem to go down too quickly
These are possible solutions. Try one or more of the following:
Are you printing photos or documents with a large number of graphics?
Because photos and graphics require more ink than text documents, ink usage increases when you print photos or graphics.
Are you printing with the Best Quality/Speed setting?
To reduce ink usage, select Best only when you are printing on photo or heavyweight matte paper. All other paper types print best at a lower Quality/Speed setting. Use the Quick Print or Normal setting to print most text documents.
