Caution:
You must remove the yellow tape from the top of the cartridge or you will permanently damage it. Do not remove the clear seal from the bottom of the cartridge; ink will leak out.
To avoid damaging the printer, never move the print head by hand.
You can replace a cartridge when the B black or A color ink out light is either flashing or on. (If you press the R cleaning button when both ink out lights are off, the printer cleans the print heads, as described in Cleaning the Print Head.)
Follow these steps to replace ink cartridges:
1Remove the new ink cartridge from its packaging.
2Remove only the yellow part of the tape seal on top as shown below. Don’t pull off the blue portion or try to remove the clear seal underneath the cartridge.
