Replacing an Ink Tank
Replace ink tank(s) if they are out of ink. When replacing them, check the model numbers and their installation positions.
With this printer, the ink tanks must be installed in the order (from left to right) indicated below:
Black: | PhotoMagenta: |
Cyan: | Magenta: |
PhotoCyan: | Yellow: |
Be sure to install the ink thanks in the correct order. The proper arrangement from the left is Black, Cyan, Photo Cyan, Photo Magenta, Magenta, Yellow.
Should missing characters or white streaks appear despite sufficient ink levels, see “When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors are Incorrect” on page 32.
For details, refer to “Replacing an Ink Tank” in the Direct Printing Guide.
To maintain optimal print quality, use an ink tank within six months of its first use.
Once an ink tank has been used, do not remove it from the printer and leave it out in the open. This will cause the ink tank to dry out and the printer may not operate properly if it is reinstalled.
Color ink consumption may occur even when
Color ink is consumed in the head cleaning and deep cleaning, which are necessary to maintain the printer’s capabilities.
When you start printing after replacing the ink tank, the printer executes Print Head Cleaning automatically. Do not perform any other operations until the Print Head Cleaning finishes.
