Ink Cartridge Precautions

Before you replace an ink cartridge, follow these precautions:

Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink.

If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water.

To avoid damaging the printer, never move the print head by hand.

Don’t open the clamp or remove a cartridge except to replace it with a new one. Once you remove a cartridge, you can’t reuse it, even if it contains ink.

You must remove the yellow tape from the top of the cartridge or you will permanently damage it. Don’t try to remove the clear seal underneath the cartridge.

Replacing a Low or Empty Ink Cartridge

When ink levels are low or you’re out of ink, Status Monitor 3 (Windows) or StatusMonitor (Macintosh) displays a message on your screen.

Before you begin, make sure you have a new ink cartridge and have read the ink cartridge precautions above. Once you start the ink cartridge replacement procedure, you must complete all the steps in one session.

1.Click the How to button.

2.Follow the instructions on the screen to replace the ink cartridge.

3.After you’ve installed the cartridge, the printer begins charging ink for several minutes. Wait until you see a message telling you that charging is complete before resuming printing.

Never unplug the printer while it’s charging ink.
