Checking Ink Levels and Replacing Ink Cartridges
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 above the ink cartridge icons correspond to the 11 cartridge slots in the printer.

Replacing Ink Cartridges
When one of the ink icons flashes, and INK LOW is displayed on the LCD, the cartridge is nearly expended. Check the LCD to see which cartridge is low, and make sure you have the correct replacement cartridge.
