Replacing Ink Cartridges
When an ink cartridge is low, the icon shown below

cartridge is low is displayed next to the Ink Low icon.

LCD screen is displayed.
Tip:
If a cartridge is more than six months old, print quality may decline.
If necessary, try cleaning the print head (& “Checking the print
head” on page 22). If printouts still do not look their best, you may
need to replace the cartridge.
