Option Description
Ink Cartridges Used This item shows the number of ink cartridges used
since the printer was first commissioned. This
information is also displayed on the System
Information screen.
Solvent Cartridges Used This item shows the number of solvent cartridges
used since the printer was first commissioned. This
information is also displayed on the System
Information screen.
Recent Ink Cartridges This item shows the volume of ink (in the number of
500 ml cartridges that were used per 28-day
period) used since the consumables history
statistics were last reset. This allows you to track
usage over a set period of time. To allow an
accurate calculation of usage, the value is not
displayed during the first seven days (a hyphen is
displayed instead). This value provides an
indication of fluid costs, printer usage, and
efficiency.

1. You cannot reset this value at Supervisor level. Please contact your local Linx Distributor for
more information.
Current Ink Usage This item shows the calculated ink usage in ml per
hour. The usage is measured when a message is
being printed. A value is only displayed when ink
consumption is stable and an accurate calculation
is possible. Until then, a hyphen is displayed. This
value provides an indication of the printer efficiency
in the current application.

2. The ink usage varies according to the ambient temperature, the solvent type, and the period
of time that the printer is in the ‘Jet Running’ or ‘Printing’ state. The value displayed is based
on average usage during the previous 28 days. If the printer was commissioned, or if the
consumables history was reset within the last 28 days, the current usage is based on the time
since those events.
