Ink Cartridge Precautions
Warning: Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not
drink the ink.
If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and
water. If ink gets in your eyes, flush them thoroughly with water.
Caution: Don’t remove the cartridge label, or ink will leak.
Don’t remove the green IC chip from the cartridge. Installing a
cartridge without an IC chip can damage the printer. Avoid touching
the green IC chip, as this can damage the ink cartridge.
If you remove an ink cartridge temporarily, protect the ink supply port
on the bottom of the cartridge from dirt and dust. Place it in a small
box, or, if you have the original packaging, return it to its own box.
Store ink cartridges in the same environment as the printer. Stand the
cartridges upright (the label identifying the color should be on the
top).
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.
❏ If all the empty cartridges have been identified, the print
head moves to the ink cartridge replacement position.
5. Open the cartridge cover.
6. Pinch the back tab of the empty cartridge as you lift it out of
the printer. Don’t take the used cartridge apart or try to
refill it.
Warning: If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with
soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them
immediately with water.
