Caution:
To avoid damaging the printer, never move the print head by hand.
Never turn off the printer while the
Ppower light is flashing, unless the printer hasn’t moved or made any noise for more than 5 minutes.
If an ink cartridge is more than six months old, you may need to replace it. How can you tell? You may notice that your printouts don’t look as good as they used to. If print quality doesn’t improve after cleaning and aligning the print head, you can replace one or both cartridges.
Follow these steps to replace an ink cartridge before the B black or
Acolor ink out light is flashing or on:
1Prepare your new ink cartridge for installation as described in Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges.
2Make sure the printer is turned on and not printing, then open the printer cover.
3Press the E load/eject button and hold it down for three seconds until the print head moves to the left. The P power light begins flashing.
4Remove the old ink cartridge and install the new cartridge as described in Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges. Don’t press any control panel buttons, however.
5Press the E load/eject button 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 various sounds. Charging takes a couple minutes. When it’s finished, the P power light stops flashing and stays on.
