Checking Printer Status and Part Life
Using the menus, you can check the amount of ink remaining, the total
number of prints, and the status of your cutter blade, maintenance tank, and
other printer parts. You can either print out a status check, or you can view
the printer’s status on the LCD panel.
Printing Status Information
The status check sheet shows some of the current default settings, the
amount of ink remaining in each cartridge, the page count, and the status of
various printer parts.
