Using print cartridges

The print cartridges can be used in the following ways:

Everyday printing

Use the black and tri-color print cartridges for everyday print jobs.

Quality color photos

For more vibrant colors when printing color photographs or other special documents, remove the black print cartridge and install a photo print cartridge. The photo print cartridge, in combination with the tri-color print cartridge, provides you with virtually grain-free photos.

Replacing print cartridges

When buying print cartridges, look for the print cartridge selection number. You can find the selection number in three places:

●Selection number label: Look at the label on the print cartridge that you are replacing.

1 Selection number label

●Printer documentation: For a list of print cartridge selection numbers, see the reference guide that came with the printer.

●Print Cartridge Ordering Information dialog box: For a list of print cartridge selection numbers, open the printer Toolbox, click the Estimated Ink Level tab, and then click the Print Cartridge Ordering Information button.

If a print cartridge runs out of ink, the printer can operate in ink-backup mode.

For information about installing a replacement print cartridge, see the print cartridge installation page.

Ink-backup mode

Use the ink-backup mode to operate the printer with only one print cartridge. The ink- backup mode is initiated when a print cartridge is removed from the print cartridge cradle.
