Epson 4880 manual System Requirements, Macintosh

Note:

❏The ink cartridges packaged with your printer are partly used during initial setup to make sure the print head is fully charged with ink. This one-time process consumes more ink, subsequent cartridges will last for their full rated life.

❏Quoted yields may vary depending on the images you are printing, the paper type you are using, the frequency of your prints and environmental conditions such as temperature.

❏To ensure premium print quality and to help protect your print head, a variable ink safety reserve remains in the cartridge when your printer indicates to replace the cartridge. The yields quoted do not include this reserve.

❏Ink is consumed during the following operations: print head cleaning and ink charging when an ink cartridge is installed.

❏To maintain print quality, Epson recommends printing a few pages on a regular basis.
