Replacing an Outdated Ink Cartridge

If an ink cartridge is more than six months old and your printouts don’t look as good as they used to, you may need to replace it the cartridge. 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 A color ink out light is flashing or on:

1.Make sure the printer is turned on and not printing, then open the printer cover.

2.Press the E load/eject button and hold it down for three seconds until the print head moves to the left and the Ppower light begins flashing.

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

3.Pull up the ink cartridge clamp. The cartridge rises up from its holder.

4.Lift the cartridge out of the printer and dispose of it carefully.

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

5.Remove the new ink cartridge from its packaging.

6.Remove 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.

Remove the yellow tape

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

7.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.

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.

8.If you need to replace the other ink cartridge, repeat steps 3 through 7 before going on to step 9.

9.Press the E load/eject button and close the printer cover.

The printer moves the print head and begins charging the ink delivery system. The Ppower light flashes and the printer makes various sounds.

Charging takes about one minute. When it’s finished, the

Ppower light stops flashing and stays on.

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.

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 in your printer software (when connected to a local port, not over a network)

❏Using the control panel buttons on your printer

	Note:
	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
black cartridge color cartridge	once a month to maintain good print quality.
