Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges
You can replace a cartridge when the
B black or
A color ink out light is either
flashing or on.
If you perform these steps when both ink out lights are off, the printer cleans the print
heads, as described on page 27. If you need to replace an ink cartridge before the lights
flash (because the ink is too old, for example), follow the instructions in “Replacing an
Outdated Ink Cartridge” on page 33.
1. Remove the new ink cartridge from
its packaging.
2. Remove only the yellow part of the
tape seal on top as shown below.
Don’t pull off the blue portion or try to
remove the clear seal underneath the
cartridge.
You must remove the yellow tape from the top of the
cartridge or you will permanently damage it. Do not remove
the clear seal from the bottom of the cartridge; ink will
leak out.
3. Make sure the printer is turned on and not printing, then open the printer cover.
4. Press the
R cleaning button and hold it for about three seconds until the print
head moves left and the
P power light begins flashing.
To avoid damaging the printer, never move the print head by
hand.
