Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges
You can replace a cartridge when the B black or A color ink out light is either flashing or on. (If you perform these steps when both ink out lights are off, the printer cleans the print heads as described on page 27.)
Be sure you have a new ink cartridge before you begin. Once you start the ink cartridge replacement procedure, you must complete all the steps in one session.
Follow these steps to replace ink cartridges:
1.Make sure the printer is turned on and not printing (the Ppower light should be on, but not flashing), then open the printer cover.
2.Press the R cleaning button and hold it for about three seconds until the print head moves slightly left and the Ppower light begins flashing.
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.
3.Unwrap the new ink cartridge.
4.Remove only the yellow part of the tape seal on top.
You must remove the yellow tape from the top of the cartridge or you will permanently damage it. Don’t pull off the blue portion or try to remove the clear seal underneath the cartridge.
