Ink Cartridge Precautions
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.
To avoid damaging the printer, never move the print head
by hand.
You cannot print if either ink cartridge is empty. Leave
the empty cartridge installed in the printer until you have
obtained a replacement. Otherwise the ink remaining in
the print head nozzles may dry out.
Removing and Installing an 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.
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and not printing (the
green
P power light should be on, but not flashing). Then
open the printer cover.
2. Press the
e ink cartridge replacement button. The print
head moves to the center and the green
P power light
flashes.
The red
b
error light also begins to flash or remains on.
❏ If it flashes at the same speed as the green
P power
light, replace the black cartridge.
❏ If it flashes twice as fast as the green
P power light,
replace the color cartridge.
❏ If it remains on, replace both cartridges.
The color cartridge is on the right and the black is on the
left.
3. Pull up the ink cartridge clamp. The cartridge rises up from
its holder.
4. Lift the cartridge out of the printer and dispose of it
carefully.
5. Unwrap the new ink cartridge. Then remove only the yellow
tape seal on top.
You must remove the yellow tape from the top of the
cartridge or you will permanently damage it.
Don’t touch the green circuit board on the back of the
cartridge; you may inhibit normal operation and printing.
6. Tilt the new cartridge toward you slightly as you insert it.
Lower the cartridge so that the tabs rest on the hooks.
Don’t place the cartridge under
the hooks; you may damage
the clamp when you close it.
7. Press down firmly on the ink cartridge clamp until it snaps
in place.
