Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges
Follow these steps to replace either or both ink cartridges:
1. Make sure the printer is on and not printing, and that one of
the
Ink Out
lights is flashing or turned on.
2. Lower the output tray on the front of the printer (if
necessary) and then lift up the printer’s cover.
3. Hold down the
Load/Eject
button for about five seconds
until the print head moves slightly left to the ink cartridge
install position. The
Power
light begins flashing.
c
Caution:
Do not move the print head with your hand. Always use
the
Load/Eject
button to move it.
4. Pull up the cartridge clamp to open it. The cartridge rises
partially out of the printer. (If you do not do this within 30
seconds after pressing
Load/Eject
, the carriage returns to
its home position, far right. If this happens, press
Load/Eject
again.)
