10. Ink Count
✍
TIP:
The printer cal-
culates the amount of
ink used by each of the
print cartridges. When
the red LED on a print
head assembly starts to
blink, it is a signal that
one or more of the print
cartridges is less than
minimum % (as set in
13. Low Ink Warning
in LCD Setup Menu)
and it must be changed
relatively soon. The per-
centage of ink available
is calculated based on
the cartridge chosen in
9. Ink Cartridge Volume
in LCD Setup Menu.
✍
TIP:
One characteris-
tic of ink jet systems
is that when a jet is
not used regularly, it
tends to clog up with
dried ink. This leaves
lines across the print,
especially in graph-
ics. To avoid this, the
system must periodi-
cally fire and clean all
of the nozzles on the
print head. This activ-
ity is called purging.
Any time that the print
quality appears to be
deteriorating and the
cartridge is not low on
ink, a purge is a good
way to restore print
quality. See also the
settings in
10. Pre-
Purge
