Consumable itemsD
InkThe machine uses individual Black, Yellow, Cyan and Magenta ink 
cartridges that are separate from the print head assembly.
Service Life of Ink 
CartridgeThe first time you install the ink cartridges the machine will use extra 
ink to fill the ink delivery tubes. This is a one-time process that 
enables high quality printing. Afterward, replacement ink cartridges 
will print the specified number of pages.
Replacement Ink Cartridges
Standard 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 × 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).
