Determining Ink Cartridge Status
The POSjet
®
1500 has been designed to monitor ink consumption rates and report ink levels to the user via a
printable ink status. To print out an ink status receipt press the NEW CARTRIDGE button.
Re-using cartridges will negate the printer‘s ability to monitor ink consumption rates effectively. If the NEW
CARTRIDGE button is pressed with a newly inserted used cartridge in place, the printer will reset the ink level
counter. Due to undetermined ink levels used cartridge, the printer‘s counter will not be able to define the amount
that the cartridge is actually holding. TransAct does not recommend replacing a used cartridge with anything but a
new ink cartridge that is approved and compatible with the printer. TransAct recommends that used cartridges be
discarded after they are removed from the printer.
Refer to the following information as a guide for determining when ink cartridges need replacing.
