4Insert the ink tank.
(1) Insert the ink tank into the print head holder.
(2) Press on the "PUSH" mark until the ink tank snaps firmly into place.
5Close the front cover.
The print head holder moves to the right. The ink tank installation process is now
complete.
Important Be sure to remove the clear film from the ink tank in the exact order
shown in step 3-(1), as failure to follow this step may cause the ink
to leak and stain your clothes and hands.
Ensure that all the orange tape has been peeled off along the
perforation. If there remains a part of the orange tape, ink may not
be ejected correctly.
Do not squeeze the side of ink tanks as this may cause the ink to
leak out and stain your clothes and hands.
Do not re-attach the protective cap once you have removed it.
Once the protective cap is removed, do not touch the open ink port.
Notes 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 function properly if it is reinstalled.
Color 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.
When an ink tank runs out of ink, replace the ink tank with a new one
immediately.
If you continue printing with an empty ink tank, pr oblems may occur.
