*These are the cartridges used in the photographic mode. If your printer uses the dual CMYK mode, cartridges 5-8 will contain the same colors as cartridges 1-4.

When the red ink light is flashing (and INK LOW is displayed on the LCD panel), the corresponding cartridge is almost out of ink. Make sure you have a replacement cartridge. When the light stays on and INK OUT is displayed, the cartridge is empty. You must replace the cartridge before you can continue printing.

See page 3 for information on selecting the correct replacement cartridges. Before you start, make sure the printer is turned on. Then follow these steps to replace an ink cartridge:

1.Note the color of the cartridge whose light is on or flashing. This is the cartridge you need to replace.

2.Press the ink compartment cover to open it.
