3.Pull up the ink cartridge clamp. The cartridge rises up from its holder. (The illustration shows color ink cartridge replacement. To replace the black ink cartridge, lift up only the smaller clamp on the left.)
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and don’t 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.

6.Lower the new ink cartridge into its holder with the label facing up and toward the back of the printer. Then press down the ink cartridge clamp until it locks in place, but don’t press down on the cartridge itself.
7.If you need to replace the other ink cartridge, repeat steps 3 through 6 before continuing with step 8.
8.Press the E load/eject button again and close the printer cover. The printer moves the print head and begins charging the ink delivery system.
The P power light flashes and the printer makes noise. Charging takes about 30 seconds. When it’s finished, the P power light stops flashing and stays on.
Never turn off the printer while the P power light is flashing, unless the printer hasn’t moved or made noise for more than 5 minutes.
Cleaning the Print Head
If your printed image is unexpectedly light or faint, or dots are missing from the image, you may need to clean the print head. This unclogs the nozzles so they can deliver ink properly.
Cleaning the print head uses ink, so clean it only if print quality declines. You can clean the print head in either of the following ways:
❏using the Head Cleaning utility (when the printer is connected to a local port, not over a network)
❏using the printer’s control panel buttons
Both methods are described on the next page.
When you don’t turn on your printer for a long time, the print quality can decline. It’s a good idea to turn on your printer at least once a month to maintain good print quality.
If any paper you buy comes with a cleaning sheet, don’t use the cleaning sheet with your printer; it may jam inside the printer.
