About the ink cartridges
Ink cartridges store the ink and are connected to the printheads, which distribute the ink on the paper.
You can purchase 130 ml ink cartridges for your printer, see
Accessories on page 101.

devices (see the
Glossary on page 160). Avoid touching pins, leads and circuitry.

The ink cartridge has expired.
