Replacing Ink Tanks

6-5

Important

Press the ink tank lever of the color to replace, then open the ink tank
cover.

Hold the empty ink tank by the grips on its side, then remove it.

Place the removed ink tank in a vinyl or plastic bag and seal it.

If there is ink remaining in the removed ink tank, be sure to cover the ink port (a) to
prevent the ink from spilling and staining.

Discard used ink tanks in compliance with local regulations regarding the disposal
of such items

Remove the new ink tank from its protective cover.

For a pigment ink tank, slowly rotate it from side to side seven or eight times
before you break its seal.
