Consumable items
Ink The DCP uses individual Black, Yellow, Cyan and 
Magenta ink cartridges that are separate from the 
print head assembly.
Service Life of Ink 
Cartridge Black - Approximately 500 pages at 5% coverage
Yellow, Cyan and Magenta - Approximately 400 
pages at 5% coverage
The above figures are based upon the following 
assumptions:
• Continuous printing at a resolution of 600 x 600 
dpi in normal mode after installing new ink 
cartridge;
 The printing frequency;
 The number of pages printed;
 Periodic, automatic, print head assembly cleaning  (Your DCP will clean the print head assembly 
periodically. This process will use a small amount 
of ink); and,
 Ink remaining in cartridge identified as “empty”  (It is necessary to leave a small amount of ink in 
the ink cartridge to prevent air from drying out and 
damaging the print head assembly).
Replacement 
Consumables The ink cartridge part numbers are located on a 
co
loured label above  the ink ca rtridge slots,  as 
shown in the illustration below.
