150 Maintaining and Transporting the Printer

Caution

Be careful not to spill ink from the maintenance tank when removing it. Hold it upright at all times and dispose of it carefully.

Checking the Maintenance Tank

Once you have removed all the ink cartridges, you may see a message telling you to replace the maintenance tank. If so, pull out the tank from the side of the printer and replace it with a new one. If you don’t see this message, continue on to the next section.

Draining the Ink

Once you have removed all the ink cartridges, you see a message that the printer is ready for draining. Follow these steps:

1.Insert the draining cartridge into the slot indicated on the control panel (#1 or #2 slot). The position is also indicated by the flashing Ink Out light.

2.Lower the ink lever. The printer begins draining the ink delivery system.

3.Once the draining is complete, the printer stops making noise and you see a message telling you to remove the draining cartridge.

If you are replacing both black ink cartridges, you see a message prompting you to insert the draining cartridge in the second slot. Once you do this, the draining process repeats a second time. If you don’t see this message, continue on to the next section.
