message “Cartridge Empty REPLACE CARTRIDGE” and the hours and minutes of
estimated printing time that remain.
NOTE: If the printer ink or solvent system becomes empty, the above options display the

the message “Cartridge Removed”.

9.14.6 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.
