Checking Ink Levels and Replacing Ink Cartridges
Checking Ink Levels and Replacing Ink Cartridges
Before you begin a large print job, you should check your
ink levels. If one of your cartridges is low, you can replace
it before you start. Or you can wait until the ink runs
out, replace the cartridge, and then continue the job.
Checking Ink and Maintenance Tank
Levels
The easiest way to check ink levels is from the control
panel. The numbers below the ink cartridge icons
correspond to the 8 cartridge slots in the printer. The
larger icon or icons on the right show the status of the
maintenance tank(s). The icons show the percentage of
ink or maintenance tank capacity remaining.
Replacing Ink Cartridges
When the ink light flashes, and INK LOW is displayed
on the LCD, one or more cartridges are nearly empty.
Check the LCD to see which cartridge is low, and make
sure you have the correct replacement cartridge.
You can install any combination of 110 ml and 220 ml
cartridges.

When one of the icons shows empty and
INK OUT is
displayed on the LCD panel, the cartridge is empty. To
replace the cartridge, first make sure the printer is on.
1 Press the ink compartment cover to open it.
2 Raise the ink lever to the unlocked position.
3 Remove the empty ink cartridge from the printer.
Warning: Do not shake the empty cartridge, or ink
may leak. If ink gets on your hands, wash them
thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets in your
eyes, flush them immediately with water.
4 Make sure the replacement cartridge is the correct
color, and remove it from its package.
Gently shake the cartridge before installing it.
