Changing Print Cartridges

!

CAUTION: When changing cartridges, avoid touching the motor

located in the front right corner load area, as it can be hot.

The system can keep track of the ink level in each of the three cartridge types: black, color, and photo. When you tell the system that a new cartridge has been installed, the ink level for that cartridge type is set back to full.

If you tell the system that you are installing an old cartridge, the ink level for that cartridge type is not reset. This allows exchanging the black and photo cartridge as required while maintaining the ink level for both. You can also use the old selection when you take a cartridge out for cleaning. For more information, see the “Cleaning Print Cartridges” section in this chapter.
