7. Remove the cartridge from its package and lower it into the
cartridge holder. Push down gently until the cartridge clicks
into place.
8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 for each cartridge you need to
replace.
9. Close the printer cover and press the
H
ink cartridge
replacement button. 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Replacing an Outdated Ink Cartridge
Even if the
H
ink out light isn’t flashing or on, you may need
to replace an ink cartridge if it’s more than six months old and
print quality declines. If print quality doesn’t improve after
cleaning and aligning the print heads, you can replace the
cartridge(s) causing the problem.
Make sure you have the new ink cartridge(s) before you
continue. Once you start the ink cartridge replacement
procedure, you must complete all the steps in one
session.
Follow these steps to replace ink cartridges before the
H
ink
out light goes on or begins to flash:
1. Use the Nozzle Check utility (described in the
Reference
Guide
) to determine which cartridge(s) needs to be replaced.
2. Make sure the printer is turned on and not printing. The
P
power light should be on, but not flashing.
3. Lower the output tray and open the printer cover.
4. Press the
H
ink cartridge replacement button. The print
head moves to the ink cartridge replacement position, and
the
P
power light begins to flash.
Don’t press the
H
ink cartridge replacement button
for more than three seconds, or the printer will
start to clean the print head.
To avoid damaging the printer, never move the
print head by hand.
5. Pinch the front and back tabs of the cartridge as you lift it
out of the printer. Don’t take the used cartridge apart or try
to refill it.
If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly
with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes,
flush them immediately with water.
6. Before you remove the new cartridge from its package,
shake it four or five times.
