Ink cartridges
The printer has two sets of ink cartridges in the order C1K1Y1M1 – C2K2Y2M2, with a capacity of 775 ml. One
cartridge of each color is used at a time, the other is inactive until needed, and can be replaced while printing
continues.
Below each ink cartridge, the printer has two LED indicators: a padlock and an inkdrop.
●
The padlock LED is on when the cartridge is in use.
IMPORTANT: Do not try to remove a cartridge when the padlock LED is on.
●
The inkdrop LED turns yellow when the cartridge is almost out of ink, and turns red when the cartridge is
empty or faulty.
Ink cartridges require no maintenance or cleaning, but must be shaken before installation. High-quality
printing is maintained even when the ink level is low.
CAUTION: Avoid touching pins, leads, and circuitry when handling ink cartridges, because these elements
are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Such devices are called ESD-sensitive devices. See Glossary
on page 133. Electrostatic discharges are one of the main hazards to electronics products. This type of
damage can reduce the life expectancy of the device.
