Install print cartridges

When you need to replace print cartridges, make sure you have the correct print cartridges for the printer, and then install them in the print cartridge cradle.

Print cartridge combinations

For printing most documents, use the tri-color print cartridge and the black print cartridge. When printing photos, use the photo print cartridge along with the tri-color print cartridge. For printing high-quality black-and-white photographs, use the gray photo print cartridge in conjunction with the tri-color print cartridge.

Always install the tri-color print cartridge in the left side of the print cartridge cradle.

Install the black, photo print cartridge, or the gray photo print cartridge in the right side of the print cartridge cradle.

Note To easily identify the correct side of the cradle in which to install the print cartridge, match the symbol on the print cartridge label with the symbol above the print cartridge cradle.
