Cause
In print jobs such as photos, images are filled with color. This consumes a lot of ink. This does not
indicate a problem with the printer.
Head Cleaning B in the Control Panel menu consumes a lot of ink. This does not indicate a problem
with the printer. Unless the printer has been moved or stored for a long period or you are troubleshoot-
ing Printhead problems, we recommend not performing Head Cleaning B, to the extent possible.
