214 Replacing Ink Cartridges
❏ If an ink cartridge is temporarily removed from the
printer, be sure to protect the ink supply port of the ink
cartridge from dirt and dust; store it in the same
environment as the printer. Store ink cartridge with its
label facing upward. Do not store cartridge upside down.
Note that there is a valve in the ink supply port, making
covers or plugs unnecessary, but care is needed to
prevent the ink from staining items that the cartridge
touches. Do not touch the ink supply port or surrounding
area.
❏ Be sure to always install an ink cartridge into the printer
immediately following the removal of the current ink
cartridge. If the ink cartridge is not installed promptly,
the print head may dry out, rendering it unable to print.
6. Open the cartridge cover. Pinch the ends of the ink cartridge
that you want to replace.
7. Lift the cartridge out of the printer and dispose of it properly.
Do not take the used cartridge apart or try to refill it.
