Checkingi InkI Levelsls and Replacingl i InkI Cartridgesi
Before you begin a large print job, you should check your ink levels. If one of your cartridges is low, you can replace it before you start. Or you can wait until the ink runs out, replace the cartridge, and then continue the job.
Checking Ink and Maintenance Tank Levels
The easiest way to check ink levels is from the control panel. The numbers below the ink cartridge icons correspond to the 9 cartridge slots in the printer.

When one of the ink bay lights flashes, and INK LOW is displayed on the LCD, the cartridge is nearly expended. Check the LCD to see which cartridge is low, and make sure you have the correct replacement cartridge.
