4. Remove the empty ink cartridge from the printer. Make
sure you save your first set of empty 110 ml cartridges, so
you can use them for transporting the printer if necessary.
WARNING:
Do not shake the empty cartridge, or ink may leak out. If ink gets
on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If
ink gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water.
5. Make sure the replacement cartridge is the correct color,
and remove it from its package.
6. Gently shake the cartridge before installing it.
7. Hold the cartridge with the arrow pointing toward the
printer. Then insert the cartridge into the slot. Don’t force
it in.
Note:
If you can’t insert the cartridge smoothly, you may have the
wrong cartridge. Check the package and product code. If the
B ink light remains on after installing the cartridge, it may not be
inserted fully.
8. Lower the ink lever to its locked position.
9. If you’re using 110 ml cartridges, close the ink
compartment cover. If you’re using 220 ml cartridges, you’ll
have to leave the cover open.
Caution:
Do not remove and re-insert cartridges more often than necessary.
Doing so can compromise the needle valve seal and allow air to enter
the ink tubes, causing nozzle loss.
Once the cartridge is installed, the printer returns to its
READY state.
Checking Printer Status and Part Life
Using the SelecType menus, you can check the amount of ink
remaining, the total number of prints, and the status of your
cutter blade, maintenance tank, and other printer parts. You
can either print out a status check, or you can view the
printer’s status on the LCD panel.
