Installing the New Cartridge
Once you have removed the empty cartridge, you’re ready
to install the new one. Follow these steps:
1. Remove the new ink cartridge from its packaging.
2. Remove the yellow tape seal as shown:
Caution:
You must remove the yellow tape seal from the top of the
cartridge; leaving the tape on will permanently damage it.
Do not remove the clear seal from the bottom of the
cartridge; ink will leak out.
3. Lower the ink cartridge into its holder with the label
facing up and the arrow pointing to the back of the printer.
4. Press down the ink cartridge clamp until it locks in place.
5. If you need to replace the other ink cartridge, follow the
steps under “Removing an Empty Ink Cartridge,” and then
steps 1 through 4 under “Installing the New Cartridge.”
6. Press the
load/eject button and close the printer cover.
The printer moves the print heads and begins charging the
ink delivery system. (Even if you don’t press the button,
ink charging begins 60 seconds after you close the clamp.)
The
power light flashes, and the printer makes various
sounds. Charging takes about two minutes. When it’s
finished, you can print again.
Caution:
Don’t turn off the printer while the
power light is
flashing, unless the printer has not moved or made noise for
more than 5 minutes.
Replacing an Outdated Ink Cartridge
If an ink cartridge is more than six months old, you may
need to replace it. How can you tell? You may 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
heads, you can replace one or both cartridges.
Follow these steps to replace an ink cartridge before the
black or
color ink out light is flashing or on:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and not printing.
2. Lower the output tray and raise the printer cover. Then
locate the
black and color cleaning buttons next to the
control panel under the printer’s cover.
3. Press both the
black and color cleaning buttons and
hold them down for a few seconds until the print heads
move to the left.
Caution:
To avoid damaging the printer, never move the print heads
by hand.
❏ To replace the black ink cartridge, follow the
instructions beginning with step 4 on page 12.
❏ To replace the color ink cartridge, press the
color
cleaning button and hold it down for a few seconds.
After the color ink cartridge moves to the left, follow
the instructions beginning with step 4 on page 12.
