Replacing an Empty or Low Ink Cartridge
Be sure you have a new ink cartridge before you begin. Once you start the ink 
cartridge replacement procedure, you must complete all the steps in one session.
Follow these steps to replace ink cartridges when the red   ink out light is flashing 
or on:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and not printing. The   power light should 
be on, but not flashing.
2. Lower the output tray and open the printer cover.
3. Press the   ink button for one second. The print head moves to the left, and the 
cartridge that needs to be replaced stops under the   mark. The   power light 
also begins to flash. 
Caution: Don’t press the   ink button for more than 2 seconds, or the printer will 
start to clean the print head.
To avoid damaging the printer, never move the print head by hand.
4. Press the   ink button again. 
■ If more than one ink cartridge is empty, the next cartridge moves under the 
mark. This happens after you press the   ink button for every ink cartridge 
that needs to be replaced.
