Storage of inks and PML containers
Inks and PML are stored in replaceable containers. The inks and liquids are pumped from the
containers into buffers. From there, the printer uses what it needs for printing and maintenance
processes. The total amount of each available liquid is the sum of the supply in the container and
the buffer.
