8. Press down the ink cartridge clamp until it locks in place.
9. If you need to replace the other ink cartridge, repeat steps 5 through 8 before
continuing with step 10.
10. Press the
R
cleaning button and close the printer cover. The printer moves the
print head and begins charging the ink delivery system.
The
P
power light flashes, and the printer makes noise. Charging takes about one
minute. When it’s finished, the
P
power light stops flashing and stays on.
Never turn off the printer while the
P
power light is flashing,
unless the printer hasn’t moved or made noise for more than
5 minutes.
Replacing an Outdated Ink Cartridge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 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
E
load/eject button and hold it for about three seconds until the print
head moves slightly left and the
P
power light begins flashing.
