7. Make sure the

B black and

A color lights are off, then press

the

R cleaning button and release quickly. The Stylus Scan

moves the print head and begins charging the ink delivery

system. This process takes about one minute to complete.

When the ink charging process is finished, the Stylus Scan

returns the print head to its home po sition and the

P power

light stops flashing

.

Note:

If you replace the ink cartridge before a print job is finished, the

Stylus Scan automatically prints the remaining pages of the print

job once the ink cartridge is replaced.

cCaution:

The

P power light continues to flash while the Stylus Scan

performs the ink charging operation. Never turn off the

Stylus Scan while this light is flashing. Doing so can result

in incomplete charging of ink.

8. Close the front cover.

Using Status Monitor 3

You can monitor the remaining ink level from your computer and

view on-screen instructions for replacing a low or empty ink

cartridge.
