• Press down on the ink tank lock lever
until it locks.
• Make sure the ink tank lock lever stays
in the locked position.
3
Shake each ink tank gently 7 to 8 times
before opening its pouch.
• Failure to shake the ink tanks may
result in reduced print quality because
ink ingredients have settled on the
bottom of the tank.
4
Open the pouch and remove the ink tank.
• Never touch the ink holes or metal
contacts. Touching these parts may
cause stains, damage the ink tank, and
affect print quality.
• Avoid dropping the ink tank after
removing it from the pouch. Otherwise,
ink may leak and cause stains.
• Do not remove ink tanks to shake them
after they have been installed. Doing so
may cause ink to spill.

Orient the ink tanks and place them in the
holders with ink holes down as shown in
