Replacing an Outdated Ink Cartridge
When an 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
P
power 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
P
power
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.
