More about ink cartridges

In order to maintain optimum print quality, the printer
periodically performs a cleaning operation. You might notice
the cleaning cycle being performed when the printer has been
on for a while without being used or when you turn the printer
on after it has been off for a while.
The number of pages a black ink cartridge can print
depends on the amount of text and graphics you use. The
number of pages a color cartridge can print depends on the
amount of color you print. You can replace black and color ink
cartridges independently. See Appendix A for ink cartridge
capacities.
