Checking The Ink And Maintenance Box Levels - Epson L8160 User Manual

Ink Bottle and Ink Tank Information
• To maintain optimum print head performance, some ink is consumed from all ink tanks during printing
and when performing maintenance operations, such as cleaning the print head. Ink may also be
consumed when the product is turned on.
• Part of the ink from the included bottles is used for printer setup. You will notice ink levels in the tank
decrease during charging. This decrease is normal and does not affect the stated in-box yields.
• Quoted ink yields may vary depending on the images you are printing, the paper type you are using,
how often you print, and environmental conditions such as temperature.
• The ink bottles may contain recycled materials, but this does not affect product function or
performance.
• When printing in monochrome or grayscale, color ink may be used instead of black ink, depending on
the paper type or print quality settings. This is because a mixture of color inks is used to create black.
• A reserve amount of ink remains in the tank when your product indicates that a refill is necessary.
