Adding ink

Warning The melted ink is hot.

The Phaser 300X Color Printer is shipped already loaded with ColorStix ink. Add ink when the front panel displays the message that tells you to add ink, or when the INK LEVEL icon in the front panel indicates a half-full or empty condition. For example, when you see the following message, add a black ink stick:

Stopped -- Add black

When the INK LEVEL is half-full, add one ink stick. When the INK LEVEL is empty, you can add two ink sticks; however, load one right after the other (if you delay, the printer will not allow the second ink stick to be loaded for approximately 15 minutes).

Caution Do not load used ink into the printer. Reusing waste ink ruins the printhead and invalidates the warranty.

Do not load broken ink sticks; they can cause the ink-loading system to jam.

The ColorStix ink sticks will break if dropped; handle them with care. Keep them in their original containers until you are ready to use them.
