This bulletin answers some commonly asked questions about the Stylus 800 Ink Jet printer.
1.
How long will an ink cartridge last?
The ink cartridge for the Epson Stylus 800 printer holds enough ink for approximately
700,000 Roman 10 CPI characters.
It is very important to understand the ink yield of the
Stylus 800's ink cartridge under different types of printing conditions.
See the following
points below for possible usage and the character yield associated with that usage:
±
Under light text usage, about 1,000 characters per page (12.5 lines of 80 characters), an
ink cartridge will yield approximately 700 pages.
±
Under medium text usage, about 2,000 characters per page (25 lines of 80 characters),
an ink cartridge will yield approximately 350 pages.
±
Under heavy text usage, about 4,000 characters per page (50 lines of 80 characters), an
ink cartridge will yield approximately 175 pages.
±
If graphics and large scalable characters are printed, the number of pages that an ink
cartridge yields may be significantly lower than that obtained when printing normal text.
It
is possible that the life of an ink cartridge may be 100 pages or less.
2.
How do you get the most out of an ink cartridge?
Once you understand the yield of the Stylus 800's ink cartridge there are a number of steps
that you can take that will provide the longest life out of each ink cartridge.
±
Only remove the ink cartridge from the printer to replace it with a new ink cartridge.
If the
ink cartridge is removed and reinstalled, the printer must perform an Ink Priming
Procedure to insure that no air has entered the cartridge.
This procedure can use up to
10 percent of the ink in the cartridge.
±
Only perform the cleaning cycle (ALT & PAUSE buttons) when the print quality declines.
Performing the cleaning cycle uses up only a small amount of ink, but the total ink used
can add up over time.
