Replacing the ink cartridge
Your printer can also operate with a type of print
head that has a replaceable ink cartridge. This
type of print head consists of an outer casing, with
the electrical contacts and print nozzles, and a
removable cartridge that contains the ink. You
can replace the ink cartridge several times before
having to change the entire print head.
When the ink cartridge in the print head runs out
of ink, an “end of ink” condition will be signalled
by a warning on your PC screen, the rapid
flashing of the light indicator on the printer
operator panel and the interruption of the printing
operation.
Do not attempt to perform a print head clearing
operation (CLEAN) if an empty ink cartridge has
been signalled.
To substitute an empty ink cartridge:
1.
Open the printer cover.
The print head carriage will move to the
loading position of the print head that has
caused the error signal.
2.
Release
ONLY
the ink cartridge from the print
head casing, pulling gently outwards the lip
on the print head casing.
(a)
to the left for the monochrome print head.
(b)
to the right for the colour print head.
Do
not
release or remove the print head casing
from the print head carriage.
3.
Remove the cartridge from the print head
casing, pulling it upwards.
