Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges

open the printer cover.
2. Do one of the following:
❏ If the red b error light is on (cartridge is empty), press
the b maintenance button.
❏ If the red b error light is flashing (cartridge is low),
press the b maintenance button. You see

Replacement
highlighted in the Advanced Settings
menu. Press
OK.
❏ If the
b error light is off, press the button to
choose
More Options, then press OK. Press the

cartridge replacement will begin. Press

thoroughly with water.
