Replacing an Outdated Ink Cartridge
When an installed ink cartridge is more than six months old, you may
need to replace it if you notice that your printouts don’t look as good as
they used to. If print quality doesn’t improve after cleaning and aligning
the print head, you can replace one or both cartridges.
Follow these steps to replace an ink cartridge before the
B black or
A color ink out light is flashing or on:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and not printing (the
Ppower
light should be on, but not flashing), then open the printer cover.
2. Press the
E load/eject button and hold it for about three seconds until
the print head moves left and the
Ppower light begins flashing.
3. Pull up the ink cartridge clamp. The cartridge rises up from its holder.
(The illustration shows color ink cartridge replacement. To replace
the black ink cartridge, lift up only the smaller clamp on the left.)
4. Lift the cartridge out of the printer and dispose of it carefully.
To avoid damaging the
printer, never move the
print head by hand. Don’t
open the clamp or remove
a cartridge except to
replace it with a new one.
Once you remove a
cartridge, you can’t reuse
it, even if it contains ink.
Keep ink cartridges out of
the reach of children and
don’t drink the ink.
If ink gets on your hands,
wash them thoroughly
with soap and water. If ink
gets into your eyes, flush
them immediately with
water.
