Replacing Ink Cartridges
This printer uses ink cartridges equipped with IC chips. The IC
chip accurately monitors the amount of ink used by each
cartridge, so even if a cartridge is removed and later reinserted,
all of its ink can be used. However, a small amount of black and
color ink is consumed each time the cartridge is inserted because
the printer automatically checks reliability.
Follow the instructions in this section to repl ace an ink cartridge
using the printer’s control panel or the status Monitor utility.
The printer’s indicator lights will inform you wh en it is time to
obtain a replacement ink cartridge and when it is time to replace
an empty cartridge. You can also check ink levels and start the ink
cartridge replacement procedure from your computer using the
Status Monitor 3 utility. See the online Reference Guide for more
information.
This table describes the status of the lights on your printer and
