CHAPTER 2 Basic Use of Printer

Cartridge control

The printer uses two ink cartridges for each supply system (each nozzle row), i.e., 16 cartridges in total.
For each supply system, always only one cartridge of the two works as the supply cartridge. Switching is
made between the two cartridges so that the two cartridge locations are selected alternately for the supply
cartridge.
