Replacing an Outdated Ink Cartridge
When an ink cartridge is more than six months old, you may need to replace it if you
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 head, you can replace one or both
cartridges.
Follow these steps to replace an ink cartridge
before
the
B
black or
A
color ink out
light is flashing or on:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and not printing (the
P
power light should be
on, but not flashing), then open the printer cover.
2. Press the
S
load/eject button and hold it for about three seconds until the print
head moves left and the
P
power light begins flashing.
3. Pull up the ink cartridge clamp. The
cartridge rises up from its holder. (The
illustration shows color ink cartridge
replacement. To replace the black ink
cartridge, lift up only the smaller clamp
on the left.)
4. Lift the cartridge out of the printer and
dispose of it carefully.
5. Unwrap the new ink cartridge. Then remove
only
the yellow part of the tape seal on top.
