CHAPTER 6 MAINTENANCE

ADDING INK

The expected ink life is 460 pages at 5% coverage on letter paper for each ink cartridge ( 3 blocks of ink ).

The printer has ink reservoirs for each color and each reservoir can hold 10 blocks of ink. You can see the amount of ink remaining through the ink reservoir cover. An ink holder contains 3 blocks of ink so that you can add ink when the remaining ink is lower than the scale marked 2/3.
