Ink Tank Capacity

The BC-10 Black BJ cartridge contains the BCI-10 Black ink tank. The ink
tank can print about 170 pages at 5% coverage.
The BC-11 Color BJ cartridge contains the following two ink tanks: BCI-11
Color ink tank and BCI-11 Black ink tank.
The BCI-11 Color ink tank can print about 40 pages when printing
graphics at 7.5% coverage for each color.
The BCI-11 Black ink tank can print about 30 pages at 7.5% coverage
and about 45 pages at 5% coverage.
The actual amount of ink that is used will vary depending on the print
density of a page. If you often print heavy ink density graphics, you will
need to change cartridges more frequently.
Ink tanks continually run out of ink
If your ink tanks seem to run out of ink before you think they should, make
sure you are following these guidelines:
Make sure you turn off the printer only when the cartridge holder is in
the home position. When in the home position, the BJ cartridge is
capped; this protects the print head nozzles and ink tanks from damage
or drying out.
Only transport the printer when the BJ cartridge is in the home
position.
Never unplug the printer or turn off a power strip to which the printer
is attached when the printer's power is turned on.
Try not to clean the print head unit unnecessarily. The print head
cleaning procedure consumes a small amount of ink.
Don't print documents with solid background colors. This consumes an
excessive amount of ink. See the Visual Guide for other helpful hints.
