SPECIFICATIONS S - 10 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 assume continuous printing at a resolution of 600 x 600 dpi in normal mode after installing new ink cartridge. The number of pages a cartridge will print may change depending on how often you use the machine and how many pages you print with each use. The machine will automatically and periodically clean the print head assembly, a process that uses a small amount of ink. The first time you install a set of ink cartridges the machine will use a small amount of ink to fill and prime the ink delivery tubes. This process will only happen once. When the machine identifies a cartridge as empty there may be a small amount of ink left in it. This is necessary to prevent air from drying out and damaging the print head assembly.
