Never turn off the printer while the Ppower light is flashing, unless the printer hasn’t moved or made noise for more than 5 minutes.
Replacing an Outdated Ink Cartridge
When an ink cartridge is more than six months old, you may need to replace it if you 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 A color ink out light is flashing or on:
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 E load/eject button and hold it for about three seconds until the print head moves 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.
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.
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.Unwrap the new ink cartridge. Then remove only the yellow part of the tape seal on top. Don’t remove the blue part of the tape seal.

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.
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.)
4.Lift the cartridge out of the printer and dispose of it carefully.
6.Lower the new ink cartridge into its holder with the label facing up and toward the back of the printer.
7.Press down the ink cartridge clamp until it locks in place, but don’t press down on the cartridge itself.
8.If you need to replace the other ink cartridge, repeat steps 3 through 7 before continuing with step 9.
