Replace Inkjet Cartridge:
1.
Open Latch Lever to remove used Cartridge from Cartridge
Holder. Pull Cartridge up and out of Holder.
2.
Remove new Inkjet Cartridge from packaging. Take care not
to touch copper contacts, metal plate, or gold printhead.
Remove protective tape from Printhead.
3.
With Cartridge’s Printhead pointing down, slide Cartridge into
Holder. Push down and toward contacts in Holder.
4.
Make sure Cartridge is seated in Holder. Close Latch Lever to
secure Cartridge.
DO NOT
force Latch Lever into place.
5.
Repeat
Steps 1-4
above for remaining Cartridges.
CAUTION
NEVER SHAKE, DROP, OR HIT CARTRIDGE AGAINST PALM OF HAND OR ANY
OTHER HARD SURFACE. SHAKING PRINT
CARTRIDGE DOES NOT “MIX” INK AND
HITTING CARTRIDGE AGAINST A HARD SURFACE DOES NOT CLEAR NOZZLES.
THESE ACTIONS HURT PRINT QUALITY BECAUSE THEY ALLOW BUBBLES TO
FORM NEAR INK FIRING CHAMBERS. THESE BUBBLES PREVENT NOZZLES
FROM FIRING, CAUSING WHITE STREAKS IN PRINT IMAGE.
