More about ink cartridges

In order to maintain optimum print quality, the printer periodically performs a cleaning operation. You might notice the cleaning cycle being performed when the printer has been on for a while without being used or when you turn the printer on after it has been off for a while.

The number of pages a black ink cartridge can print depends on the amount of text and graphics you use. The number of pages a color cartridge can print depends on the amount of color you print. You can replace black and color ink cartridges independently. See Appendix A for ink cartridge capacities.
