■
An IC chip on each ink cartridge monitors the
amount of ink used from the cartridge.
Cartridges are usable even if they are removed
and reinserted. However, some ink is consumed
each time cartridges are inserted because the
printer automatically checks their reliability.
■
For maximum ink efficiency, only remove an ink
cartridge when you are ready to replace it. Ink
cartridges with low ink status cannot be used
when reinserted.
