Pro Tip
Leaving the printer permanently connected to a power outlet allows it to perform silent, short maintenance micro-cleans, preventing the high-capacity printheads from drying out and saving more ink over time than manual power-cycling.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix standard LC3337 and high-yield LC3339XL cartridges in this printer simultaneously?
Yes. The printer features independent slots for each of the four colours, allowing you to run an LC3339XL high-yield black cartridge alongside standard LC3337 colour cartridges to accommodate text-heavy printing regimes.
Why does my printer display a low ink alert when I have only printed monochrome text?
The individual ink system regularly uses minuscule amounts of colour ink during periodic printhead maintenance cycles to prevent nozzle blockages. This background cleaning process ensures text remains crisp but means colour levels will slowly deplete even without direct colour printing.
How does the printer handle page tracking when using high yield business cartridges?
The internal chip on the cartridge tracks the actual number of droplets fired rather than page count alone. If your office prints complex graphics or dense spreadsheets, the physical page output may vary from the standard ISO rating due to higher page coverage.
