Replacing an Ink Cartridge
The easiest way to check ink levels is from the control panel:
Tip:
You can store partially used ink cartridges for up to 6 months. 
When the red B ink light is flashing (and INK LOW is 
displayed on the LCD panel), the indicated cartridge is almost 
out of ink. Make sure you have a replacement cartridge. When 
the light stays on and 
INK OUT is displayed, the cartridge is 
empty. You must replace the cartridge before you can 
continue printing. 
You can install any combination of 110 ml and 220 ml 
cartridges. It’s a good idea to keep a set of empty 110 ml 
cartridges on hand at all times in case you need to ship the 
printer. 
See page 2 for information on selecting the correct 
replacement cartridges. Before you start, make sure the printer 
is turned on. Then follow these steps to replace an ink 
cartridge: 
1. Note the color of the cartridge whose light is on or flashing. 
This is the cartridge you need to replace.
Caution:
Leave the empty cartridge in the printer until you are ready to 
replace it. To prevent ink reporting errors, never replace the ink 
cartridges with the printer turned off. 
2. Press the ink compartment cover to open it.
3. Raise the ink levers to the unlocked position.
UNABLE TO PRINT — You tried to print while an error 
condition was present.
Press the   Pause button to exit the SelecType menu 
system. If the message appears again, clear the error 
before you print.
WRONG INK CRTG B Ink light on  You tried to install the wrong ink 
cartridge.
If you are installing ink cartridges for the first time, you 
must install the cartridges that came with your printer.
If you are replacing ink cartridges, check the package 
and product code. You must use the ink cartridges 
designed for your printer. Other cartridges will not 
work.
