How to Checking Ink Capacity

To be able to check the amount of ink available in the machine, first determine if your device is a laser printer or a color printer.

1. Series of Laser Printers

Modern laser printer line

Modern printers have the function of checking ink capacity depending on each line and we can check on the screen of the printer. Some other lines can be checked through the printer light to know the ink capacity.

Series of universal printers, laser printers

With this model, it is relatively difficult to check. Models using cartridges with chips can look at the red signal light on the printer to determine if the machine has run out of ink. Or if the printout shows signs of fading, it will also run out of ink.

In the case of blurred prints, we can remove the cartridge and then shake it to give it evenly and continue printing for a few dozen more copies. Although the printer is running out of ink, there is still ink in the box. This will depend on each firm having its own rules about the amount of ink left over. For example, Canon is 24% and Epson is 8%.

2. Color Printer Series

All color printers now allow you to check the amount of ink directly on the screen through the commands installed on the printer. Some printers support Vietnamese, so users can learn and check.

We double-select The printer icon under the Taskbar , access The printer driver, Next, select the Maintenance Tab and select The EPSON Status Monitor 3 button To bring up a dialog box showing the status of the ink on the computer.

Or during the printing process, we will see the interface displaying the printing process, select Stop to stop the printing process and select the Ink Ink Check To check the ink level.

Next, the dialog box showing the amount of ink as shown below, press Details To check more carefully the amount of ink.

Although this test does not always need to be done, you should check it especially after you have inked and used the time. Thus, we will be able to understand the current number of ink, and carry out the ink injection in a timely manner to avoid the print panel being blurred during the printing process.
