NOTE:
Once the cartridge has been removed, a sensor in
the cartridge slot initiates the start of the changing routine
from transport cartridge to ink cartridge and vice versa.
When a cartridge is removed, all printer functions are
disabled to prevent air from being drawn into the ink
system. The
Ink empty LED
illuminates and remains on
until a new cartridge is inserted.
4.
Take the ink cartridge out of the shipping box and
remove the wrapping. Write the date of installation on
the label located on the front of the cartridge (Figure
6-K).

The ink cartridge must be replaced every three

printing.
