Replacing the Waste Ink Bottle

When you see the Prepare empty waste ink bottle message on the printer's LCD screen, you need to replace the waste ink bottle.
Caution:
When replacing the waste ink bottle, always wear the gloves included in the maintenance kit.
  1. Remove the outer and inner caps from the new waste ink bottle and store them in a safe place.


    Note: Keep the caps so you can use them to dispose of the used waste ink bottle.
  2. Remove the waste ink tube from the used waste ink bottle and insert it into the new waste ink bottle. Be careful not to spill any ink remaining in the tube.


  3. Place the inner and outer caps you removed from the new waste ink bottle on the used waste ink bottle.


  4. Remove the used waste ink bottle from the waste ink bottle holder and insert the new bottle. Make sure the new waste ink bottle is seated correctly in the waste ink holder.


    Note: Verify that the waste ink tube is still inserted into the neck of the bottle. If the waste ink tube comes out of the bottle, waste ink will spill out.
  5. Press the OK button.
  6. Press the OK button to clear the waste ink counter.
    Note: If you replaced the waste ink bottle before the replacement message appeared on the control panel, press the  maintenance button and select Waste Ink Counter to clear the waste ink counter.
