Replacing an Outdated Ink Cartridge
If an ink cartridge is more than six months old, you may need
to replace it. How can you tell? You may 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 heads,
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.
2. Lower the output tray and raise the printer cover. Then
locate the
Y
black and
X
color cleaning buttons next to the
control panel under the printer’s cover.
3. Press both the
Y
black and
X
color cleaning buttons and hold
them down for a few seconds until the print heads move to
the left.
Caution:
To avoid damaging the printer, never move the print
heads by hand.
