162Maintaining and Transporting the Printer

6.Make sure the replacement cartridge is the correct color and remove it from its package. Gently shake the cartridge for about 5 seconds before installing it.

Note: If you can’t insert the cartridge smoothly, you may have the wrong cartridge. Check the package and product code. If the B Ink light remains on after installing the cartridge, it may not be inserted fully.

Caution: Do not remove and re-insert cartridges more often than necessary. Doing so can compromise the needle valve seal and allow air to enter the ink tubes, causing nozzle damage.

7.Hold the cartridge with the arrow pointing toward the printer. Then insert the cartridge into the slot until it clicks into place. Don’t force it in.

8. Close the ink cover.

Once the cartridge is installed, the printer returns to its READY state.
