Routine Maintenance

Replacing an Ink Tank

When ink runs out, replace the ink tank. The printer will not print if the wrong type of ink tank is used, or if it is installed in the incorrect position.

The printer uses the following ink tanks.

Black: PGI-5BK

Magenta: CLI-8M

Cyan: CLI-8C

Yellow: CLI-8Y

Note

Be sure to install the ink tanks in the correct order. The proper arrangement from the left is Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow.

If printing becomes faint or white streaks appear despite sufficient ink levels, see When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors Are Incorrect.

Getting the Ink Level Information

Ink Level Indication on the Printer

You can confirm the ink level in each ink tank by the ink lamps. Open the Top Cover of the printer to confirm how the ink lamps light or flash.
