Remove and Install Cartridges

Be sure you have your replacement cartridges handy before you begin. You must install new cartridges immediately after removing the old ones.

Caution:
Do not open ink cartridge packages until you are ready to install the ink. Cartridges are vacuum packed to maintain reliability.

Remove the CD/DVD tray and close the CD/DVD tray guide cover before replacing ink cartridges.

1.	Turn on the R1900 Series.

2.	Open the printer cover.

3.	Press the  ink button to move the print head to the ink replacement position. If a cartridge is low or expended, the light above the cartridge flashes or stays on.

Caution:
Don’t move the print head by hand or touch the flat white cable behind the print head to avoid damaging your printer.

4.	Open the cartridge cover.

5.	Squeeze the tab on the cartridge and lift the cartridge straight up to remove it. Dispose of it carefully. Do not take the used cartridge apart or try to refill it.

Warning:
If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.

6.	Before opening the cartridge package, shake the package four or five times.

Note:
All the ink cartridges, except the gloss optimizer cartridge, make a clicking sound when you shake them.

Caution:
Do not shake the cartridges after opening the packages or ink will leak.

7.	Remove the cartridge from the package, but be careful not to touch the green chip on the cartridge.

8.	Remove the yellow tape from the bottom of the cartridge.

Caution:
Do not remove any other labels or seals, or ink will leak.

9.	Insert the new cartridge into the holder and push it down until it clicks into place.

10.	Once you replace all the necessary cartridges, close the cartridge cover and push it down until it clicks into place.

11.	Close the printer cover.

12.	Press the  ink button to begin charging the ink. This takes about 2 1/2 minutes. The  power light flashes as the ink charges.

When the  power light stops flashing and the  ink light goes out, ink charging is finished.

Caution:
Never turn off the R1900 Series while ink is charging or you’ll waste ink.

If the  ink light is flashing, press the  ink button, then press down all the cartridges securely.

If you remove a low or expended ink cartridge, you cannot reinstall and use the cartridge.
