S - 7 SPECIFICATIONS Consumable items Ink The machine uses individual Black, Yellow, Cyan and Magenta ink cartridges that are separate from the print head assembly. Service Life of Ink Cartridge Black - Approximately 500 pages at 5% coverage Yellow, Cyan and Magenta - Approximately 400 pages at 5% coverage The above figures are based upon the following assumptions: Continuous printing at a resolution of 600 x 600 dpi in normal mode after installing new ink cartridge; The printing frequency; The number of pages printed; Periodic, automatic, print head assembly cleaning (Your machine will clean the print head assembly periodically. This process will use a small amount of ink); and, Ink remaining in cartridge identified as “empty” (It is necessary to leave a small amount of ink in the ink cartridge to prevent air from drying out and damaging the print head assembly).
