Before you begin a large print job, you should check your
ink levels. If one of your cartridges is low, you can replace
it before you start. Or you can wait until the ink runs
out, replace the cartridge, and then continue the job.
Checking Ink and Maintenance Tank
Levels
The easiest way to check ink levels is from the control
panel. The numbers above the ink cartridge icons
correspond to the 9 cartridge slots in the printer.

Replacing Ink Cartridges
When one of the ink icons flashes, and INK LOW is
displayed on the LCD screen, the cartridge is nearly
expended. Check the LCD screen to see which cartridge
is low, and make sure you have the correct replacement
cartridge.
