Unexpected Printing Results

Other Problems

Ink consumption is exceedingly high
Cause 1: Printing many color images over an entire
printing area.
Solution 1: Printing photographs or other images that
require a lot of color fill consumes large
amounts of ink. This is not unusual.
Cause 2: Executing Head Cleaning B very often.
Solution 1: Head Cleaning B consumes a large amount of
ink (this is not unusual). After the printer has
been moved, or after the printer has been
stored and not used for a long period (excluding
other problems with the printhead), you should
execute Head Cleaning B.
Cause 3: The printer consumes ink for the initial ink tank
filling.
Solution 1: The first time the printer used after it is set up or
moved to a new location, the ink level display
may drop to as low as 80% as a result of filling
the printhead and ink tanks with ink (this is not
abnormal).
