Removing an Empty Ink Cartridge

You can replace a cartridge when the black or color ink out light is either flashing or on.

Note:

If you press the cleaning button when neither ink out light is flashing or on, the printer cleans the print head as described on page 22.

1.Make sure the printer is turned on and not printing.

2.Lower the output tray and raise the printer cover.

3.Press the cleaning button and hold it for three seconds.

The print head moves slightly to the left and the power light begins flashing.

Caution:

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 the cartridge contains ink, reusing it may damage the print head.

4.Pull up the ink cartridge clamp. The cartridge rises up from its holder. (Although the illustration shows the color ink cartridge, the procedure is the same for replacing the black ink cartridge.)

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

6.Follow the steps in the next section to install the new ink cartridge.
