Your printer needs little maintenance to keep it producing quality prints. Add ink, empty the waste tray,
and replace the maintenance kit when needed to keep your printer functioning properly.

Adding Ink

You can load ink any time the printer is idle, or when the printer control panel displays a message to
add ink or displays a message that the printer is out of ink.
• Keep ink in its packaging until you are ready to use it.
• Do not force the solid ink when inserting it into the ink-loading bins. Identify ink by color and
shape.
• To avoid ink jams, never insert broken solid ink into the ink-loading bins.
