Replacing an Ink Cartridge
When you print with low or expended ink cartridges, you see
a message on the LCD screen telling you which cartridges are
low or expended.
You’ll also see a message on your computer screen when you
print telling you which cartridge is low or expended.
When a cartridge is installed in the printer for more than six
months, you may need to replace it if printouts don’t look
their best. If the quality doesn’t improve after cleaning and
aligning the print head, you can replace the cartridge even if
the cartridge is not expended.
