Note:

If you press the R cleaning button when neither ink out light is flashing or on, the printer cleans the print head as described on page 5-2. If you need to replace an ink cartridge before the lights flash (because the ink is too old, for example) follow the instructions on

page 5-7.

Maintenance and Transportation

Removing an Empty Ink Cartridge

You can replace a cartridge when the B black or A color ink out light is either flashing or on. Follow these steps:

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

2.Determine which cartridge needs to be replaced.

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

4.Press the R cleaning button and hold it for three seconds.

The print head moves all the way to the left and the

P power light begins flashing. (The print head returns to its home position if you don’t proceed to step 5 within 60 seconds.)

5.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.)

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.

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

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