The print yield in the table above is an average value measured in continuous printing, using the ink tank
immediately after it is unsealed, until the ink is out. Ink yield may vary depending on texts and photos printed,
application software, print mode, and type of paper used.
When the machine is turned on and while printing, each ink may be used for protecting the print head and
maintaining print quality.
