Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges

Make sure you have your replacement cartridges handy before you begin. You must install new cartridges immediately after removing the old ones.
Note: Replace all expended ink cartridges. You cannot print if any of the ink cartridges are expended or missing.
  1. Turn on your product.
  2. Open the ink cartridge cover.


  3. Remove the new ink cartridge from the bag and gently shake it horizontally for about 10 seconds (approximately 30 times).


    Caution:
    Do not touch the chip on the cartridge.
  4. Using the indentation on top of the cartridge, pull the old cartridge out of the printer.


  5. With the label facing you, slide the new ink cartridge all the way into the slot.


    Note: Make sure to insert the cartridge into the correct color location
  6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 as necessary to replace any other cartridges.
  7. Close the ink cartridge cover.


Caution:
If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect the ink supply area from dirt and dust and store it in the same environment as the printer. The valve in the ink supply is designed to contain any excess ink, but do not touch the ink supply port or surrounding area.
