Each color has its own correct position. Insert each new ink cartridge into the
carriage using the color indicator on the print head as a guide.
8
After installing the ink cartridges, close the scanner cover. Your MFC prepares
for a “head cleaning” and goes online. The display screen prompts you to verify
a new ink cartridge was inserted for each color you removed. Example: DID
YOU CHANGE BLCK? 1. YES 2. NO.
If the ink cartridge you installed is not a brand new one, please make sure to
select 2.
9
For each new cartridge, Press 1 on the dial pad to reset the ink dot counter for
that color automatically. (The ink dot counter enables the MFC to notify you
when a color is running low.)
The MFC will enter a cleaning cycle for approximately three minutes for each
replaced cartridge. The display screen alternately shows CLEANING and
PLEASE WAIT.
When the MFC completes the cleaning cycle, the display returns to Standby
mode (date and time).
WARNING
If ink gets in your eyes, irrigate them with water immediately. If irritation
persists, consult your physician.
Caution
■ DO NOT remove ink cartridges if you do not need to replace them. If you do
so, it may reduce the ink quantity and the printer will not know the quantity of
ink left in the cartridge.
■ DO NOT shake the ink cartridges, because the ink may spill when you take off
the sealing tape.
■ If ink stains your body or clothing, wash with soap or detergent immediately.
■ If you install an ink cartridge in the wrong color position, you must clean the
print head several times before you start printing, after correcting the cartridge
installation, because the colors were mixed.
■ Once you open an ink cartridge, install it in the MFC and use it up within six
months of installation. Use unopened ink cartridges by the expiration date
written on the cartridge package.
■ DO NOT refill the ink cartridges. Attempting to use refilled cartridges may
cause damage to the print head and will void your warranty.
If the INK EMPTY error message is on the display after you have installed ink
cartridges, check that the ink cartridges are installed correctly.
