Replacing the print and ink cartridge

Replace the print cartridge when:

—you have been using the cartridge for over one year,

—the printing is not crisp and there are gaps in the characters (missing dots) even after you have cleaned the print head at least five times,

—you want to switch from high-speed monochrome printing to color printing (or vice versa),

—the KX-FA150 black print cartridge runs out of ink, or

—the print head of the KX-FA151 color print cartridge is damaged (or after printing approximately 2,000 pages).

If you are using the KX-FA151 color print cartridge and your output is blank, one of the ink cartridges is probably out of ink. Replace an ink cartridge. See page 57.

Note:

¡Refer to the operating instructions for fax on the print cartridge guideline.
