Tell me about ink cartridges
The printer's four ink cartridges provide yellow, magenta, black, and cyan ink to the
printheads. The color cartridges supplied with the printer have a capacity of 225 cm³,
and the black cartridge has a capacity of 400 cm³. It is also possible to buy and use
color cartridges with a capacity of 400 cm³.
Note All these cartridges are physically the same size: only the internal
capacity varies.
Ink cartridges require no maintenance or cleaning. As long as each ink cartridge is
inserted correctly into its slot, the ink will flow to the printheads. Because the
printheads control the amount of ink transferred to the page, you will continue to see
high-quality printing results even when the ink levels are getting low.
Replacing ink cartridges
You can highlight the icon at any time to check the ink levels of all the ink
cartridges (as illustrated below).
