Caution:
Once you install an ink cartridge, do not open the ink
cartridge clamp again or remove the cartridge except to
replace it with a new one. Once you remove a cartridge, do
not reuse it; this may damage the print head.
9. Press the
Load/Eject
button again. The printer moves the
print head to its home (far right) position and the
Power
light flashes as the printer charges the ink delivery system.
c
Caution:
The
Power
light continues to flash while the printer
performs the ink charging operation. Never turn off the
printer while the
Power
light is flashing, as this can
result in incomplete charging of printer ink.
Note:
Even if you do not press the
Load/Eject
button, the printer
moves the print head back to its home position about 30 seconds
after you replace the cartridge.
10. When the charging cycle is finished (the
Power
light stops
flashing), close the printer cover. Now the printer is ready
for your next print job.
