Replacing the print cartridges

When a print cartridge has to be replaced, follow these instructions:

1Remove the new print cartridge from its package and then pull the colored tab to remove the protective film from the cartridge.

To prevent clogs, ink failure, and bad electrical connections, do not touch the print cartridge ink nozzles or copper contacts, and do not remove the copper strips.

2With the printer turned on, open the front access cover. Wait for the carriage to go to “print cartridge change” position. This should take only a few seconds.
