Checking Ink Levels and Replacing Ink Cartridges
Checking Ink Levels and Replacing Ink Cartridges
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 below the ink cartridge icons
correspond to the 9 cartridge slots in the printer.
Replacing Ink Cartridges
When one of the ink bay lights flashes, and INK LOW is
displayed on the LCD, the cartridge is nearly expended.
Check the LCD to see which cartridge is low, and make
sure you have the correct replacement cartridge.

When one of the icons is blank and NOT ENOUGH
INK is displayed, the cartridge is expended. To replace
the cartridge, first make sure the printer is on.
1 Press the ink cover button to unlock the cover, then
open it.
Note: If the ink cover doesn’t open when you press
the button, insert the end of a paper clip in the
small hole on the upper left corner.
2 Push in the expended cartridge to release it.
3 Remove the expended ink cartridge from the printer.
Warning: Do not shake the expended cartridge, or
ink may leak. If ink gets on your hands, wash them
thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets in your
eyes, flush them immediately with water.
4 Make sure the replacement cartridge is the correct
color, and remove it from its package. Gently shake
the cartridge before installing it.
