(2)Press on the mark on the ink tank until the ink tank snaps firmly into place.

6 Close the Inner Cover and the Top Cover.

The Print Head Holder moves to the right. The ink tank installation process is now complete.

z Ensure that the Inner Cover is closed. Printing will not occur if the Inner Cover is open.

zTo maintain optimal print quality, use an ink tank within six months of its first use.

zOnce 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.

zColor ink consumption may occur even when black-and-white or grayscale printing is specified.

Color ink is consumed in the head cleaning and deep cleaning, which are necessary to maintain the printer’s capabilities.

zWhen 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. The POWER lamp flashes during cleaning.
