hand.
4. Squeeze the back tab of the used cartridge as you lift it
straight out. Dispose of it carefully. Don’t take the cartridge
apart or try to refill it.
Warning: If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with
soap and water. If ink gets in your eyes, flush them immediately
with water. If discomfort or vision problems continue after a
thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.
Note: If an ink cartridge is low, you may continue to use it until it
is expended.
5. Remove the new cartridge from the package.
Caution: Do not touch the
green IC chip on the side of the
cartridge.

immediately after removing the
old cartridge. If the cartridge is
not installed promptly, the print
head may dry out and be
unable to print.
6. Remove the yellow tape from
the bottom of the ink
cartridge.
Caution: You must remove the yellow tape from the cartridge
before you install it; otherwise, print quality may decline or you
may not be able to print. If you have installed an ink cartridge
without removing the yellow tape, take the cartridge out of the
printer, remove the yellow tape, and then reinstall it.
Do not remove the transparent
seal from the bottom of the
cartridge; otherwise, the cartridge
may become unusable.
Do not remove or tear the label on
the cartridge; otherwise, ink will
leak.
