Make sure
you have your replacement cartridges handy before you begin. You
must install new cartridges immediately after removing the old
ones.
Caution:
Leave your old cartridges in the printer
until you are ready to replace them to prevent the print head
nozzles from drying out. Do not open ink cartridge packages until
you are ready to install the ink. Cartridges are vacuum packed to
maintain reliability.
- Turn on your product.
- If an ink
cartridge is expended, you see a message on the LCD screen. Note
which cartridges need to be replaced and press the OK button. Select the
option to replace the ink cartridge and press the OK button.
- If you are
replacing a cartridge before you see a message on the LCD screen,
select Setup > Maintenance > Ink Cartridge(s) Replacement. Then press the
start button.
- Lift up the scanner unit.
Caution:
Do not move the print head by hand;
otherwise, you may damage your product. Do not touch the flat white
cable inside the printer.
- Push in the blue tab to unlock the ink cartridge you are
replacing. Then lift the bottom of the ink cartridge to remove
it.
Warning: If
ink gets on your skin, wash it thoroughly with soap and water. If
ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If ink
gets into your mouth, spit it out and see a doctor right away. Keep
ink cartridges out of the reach of children.
- Recap the used ink cartridge using the cap that came with
it.
Note: Dispose
of used cartridges carefully. Do not take the used cartridge apart
or try to refill it.
- If you are replacing the Black (BK) ink cartridge, shake
the new cartridge gently four or five times before unwrapping it.
You do not need to shake the Photo Black (PBK) cartridge or any of
the other color ink cartridges.
Caution:
Do not shake the cartridges after opening
the packages, or ink may leak.
- Remove the cartridge from the package.
Caution:
Do not touch the areas shown above. Doing
so may prevent normal operation and printing.
- Remove the cap from the cartridge and store it for later
use.
Note: Save
the cap so you can recap ink cartridges before storing or disposing
of them.
Caution:
Do not remove any other labels or seals,
or ink will leak.
- Insert the ink cartridge at a slight angle into the ink
cartridge holder as shown. Then press the bottom of the ink
cartridge down until it clicks into place.
- After you replace all the cartridges that need replacing,
close the scanner unit. The product starts priming the ink.
This takes a few minutes. When you see a completion message on the
LCD screen, ink replacement is complete.
Note: Do not
turn off the product while it is priming or you will waste ink. If
you see an error screen telling you an ink cartridge is installed
incorrectly, lift up the scanner unit and press the ink cartridge
down until it clicks into place. When you're finished, close the
scanner unit.
If you remove a low or expended ink cartridge, you
cannot re-install and use the cartridge.
Caution:
If you remove an ink cartridge for later
use, recap the ink cartridge using the cap that came with it to
prevent the ink from drying out and to protect the surrounding area
from getting smeared by ink. Store the ink cartridge in the same
environment as the product. Do not leave the product with the ink
cartridges removed for an extended period of time. Otherwise, ink
remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out and you may not be
able to print.
