Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges
You can replace a cartridge when the
B black or
A color ink
out light is either flashing or on. (If you perform these steps
when both ink out lights are off, the printer cleans the print
heads as described on page 9.)
Be sure you have a new ink cartridge before you begin. Once
you start the ink cartridge replacement procedure, you must
complete all the steps in one session.
Follow these steps to replace ink cartridges:
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
R cleaning button and hold it for about three
seconds until the print head moves left and the
Ppower
light begins flashing.
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.
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.
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.
If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with
soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them
immediately with water.
5. Unwrap the new ink cartridge. Then remove only the yellow
part of the tape seal on top. Don’t remove the blue part of
the tape seal.
You must remove the yellow tape from the top of the
cartridge or you will permanently damage it. Don’t pull off
the blue portion or try to remove the clear seal
underneath the cartridge.
6. Lower the new ink cartridge into its holder with the label
facing up and toward the back of the printer.
7. Press down the ink cartridge clamp until it locks in place,
but don’t press down on the cartridge itself.
8. If you need to replace the other ink cartridge, repeat steps 3
through 7 before continuing with step 9.
9. Press the
R cleaning button and close the printer cover.
The printer moves the print head and begins charging the
ink delivery system.
The
Ppower light flashes, and the printer makes noise.
Charging takes about 30 seconds. When it’s finished, the
Ppower light stops flashing and stays on.
