Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges

Be sure you have a new ink cartridge before you begin. Once you start the ink cartridge replacement procedure, you must complete all the steps in one session.

1.Make sure the printer is turned on and not printing, then open the printer cover.

2.Do one of the following:

If the red b error light is on (cartridge is empty), press the b maintenance button.

If the red b error light is flashing (cartridge is low), press the b maintenance button. You see Ink Cartridge Replacement highlighted in the Advanced Settings menu. Press OK.

If the b error light is off, press the button to choose More Options, then press OK. Press the button to select Ink Cartridge Replacement.

3.You see a message on the display telling you that ink cartridge replacement will begin. Press OK to continue. The print head moves to the replacement position.

4.Open the cartridge cover.

5.Press in the tab on the back of the cartridge and lift the cartridge out of the printer. Dispose of it carefully.

Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink.

If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets in your eyes, flush them thoroughly with water.

6. Unwrap the new ink cartridge.

Don’t touch the green circuit boards or remove any labels.

7.Lower the cartridge into the holder, with the green circuit board facing the front. Then gently push the cartridge down until it is firmly seated.

8.If you need to replace another ink cartridge, repeat steps 5 through 7 before continuing with step 9.

10.Press the left front corner of the cartridge cover forward to lock the cover into place.

11.Press OK and close the printer cover.

The printer begins charging the ink delivery system.
