9. Once you replace all the cartridges that need replacing, close the scanner unit.
The product starts priming the ink. This takes a few minutes. When you see a completion message
on the LCD screen, ink replacement is complete.
Note: If you see an error screen telling you an ink cartridge is installed incorrectly, lift up the scanner
unit and press the ink cartridge down until it clicks into place. When you're finished, close the
scanner unit.
Caution: If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, recap the ink cartridge using the cap that came
with it to prevent the ink from drying out and to protect the surrounding area from getting smeared by ink.
Store the ink cartridge in the same environment as the product. Do not leave the product with the ink
cartridges removed for an extended period of time. Otherwise, ink remaining in the print head nozzles
may dry out and you may not be able to print.
