You can replace an ink reservoir during printing (“hot swap”) only with an ink reservoir of the same color and ink type.
Caution When switching to a different ink color or ink type, wait for printing to finish, then replace the ink reser- voir, printhead, and ink tube as a matched set. Failure to do so will contaminate the ink system and compromise performance or output quality.
1.Place the new ink reservoir near the reservoir to be replaced.
2.Remove the ink reservoir from the ink tray. Do not disconnect the ink tube at this time.
This disconnects the profiler, which is built into the ink res- ervoir, from its port on the back of the tray. The printer detects that the profiler has been disconnected, but will not report an error condition unless you fail to connect the new ink reservoir to the profiler docking station within ten seconds.
3.Install the new ink reservoir into place in the ink tray. Care- fully connect the profiler into its port at the back of the tray.
Do this promptly. Since the printer keeps track of ink used, the longer it takes for you to replace the ink reservoir, the less accurate this “count” will be. If you install ink of a dif- ferent color or type than was originally installed, the printer will report this as an error message on the printer control panel, and printing will stop.
4.Disconnect the ink tube from the old ink reservoir, and con- nect it to the new ink reservoir.
Connect the new ink reservoir within five seconds, or the printhead may deprime, which will damage printed output.
