Use print cartridges
The print cartridges can be used in the following ways:
• Everyday printing: Use the black and tri-color print cartridges for everyday print jobs.
• Quality color photos: For more vibrant colors when printing color photographs or
other special documents, remove the black print cartridge and install a photo print
cartridge. The photo print cartridge, in combination with the tri-color print cartridge,
provides you with virtually grain-free photos.
Replace print cartridges
When buying print cartridges, look for the print cartridge selection number.
You can find the selection number in three places:
• Selection number label: Look at the label on the print cartridge that you are replacing.

Toolbox, click the Estimated Ink Level tab, and then click
the Print Cartridge Information button.
If a print cartridge runs out of ink, the printer can operate in ink-backup mode. For more

Ink-backup mode
In the ink-backup mode, the printer operates with only one print cartridge. The ink-backup
mode is initiated when a print cartridge is removed from the print cartridge cradle.
