Checkingi InkI Levelsls and Replacingl i InkI Cartridgesi

Before you begin a large print job, you should check your ink levels. If one of your cartridges is low, you can replace it before you start. Or you can wait until the ink runs out, replace the cartridge, and then continue the job.

Checking Ink and Maintenance Tank Levels

The easiest way to check ink levels is from the control panel. The numbers below the ink cartridge icons correspond to the 8 cartridge slots in the printer. The larger icon or icons on the right show the status of the maintenance tank(s). The icons show the percentage of ink or maintenance tank capacity remaining.

When one of the icons shows empty and INK OUT is displayed on the LCD panel, the cartridge is empty. To replace the cartridge, first make sure the printer is on.

1Press the ink compartment cover to open it.
2Raise the ink lever to the unlocked position.
3Remove the empty ink cartridge from the printer.

Warning: Do not shake the empty cartridge, or ink may leak. If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water.

4Make sure the replacement cartridge is the correct color, and remove it from its package.

Gently shake the cartridge before installing it.
