1.3.6 Monitoring of the Amount of Remaining Ink
 Outline
 The amount of remaining cartridge ink is calculated in such a way that the amount of ink consumed for the
following operations is calculated by subtraction of remaining ink.
• Number of ink shots by printing and flushing
• Amount of ink suction by cleaning and filling
 When the amount of remaining ink is updated, it is written into the ink IC chip.
 A cartridge error is issued according to the amount of remaining ink.
 Calculation of the amount of consumed ink
 Ink discharging during printing and flushing
• The amount of ink consumed by ink discharging is calculated by counting the number of ink shots.
• This machine counts ink shots for each row of nozzles and performs calculation by taking account of dot sizes
(small, middle and large).
 Ink suction during cleaning and filling
The table below shows the amount of ink consumed for various ink suction operations.
 Updating of the amount of remaining ink
The amount of remaining ink will be updated and written onto the ink IC chip at the timing shown below.
