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

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.

- If you are
replacing a cartridge before you see a message on the LCD screen,
press the
home button if necessary, and
select Settings > Maintenance > Ink Cartridge(s) Replacement >

- Before opening a new cartridge package, shake it gently
four or five times.
Caution:Do not shake the cartridges after opening the packages, or ink may leak.

Caution:Do not touch the green chip on the cartridge. Install the new cartridge immediately after removing the old one; if you do not, the print head may dry out and be unable to print.

The print head moves to its home position and the printer starts
charging the ink. This takes about 90 seconds. When you see a
confirmation message on the screen, ink charging is finished.
Caution:Never turn off the product while the power light is flashing 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, select OK.
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, 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
port is designed to contain any excess ink, but do not touch the
ink supply port or surrounding area. Always store ink cartridges
with the label facing up; do not store cartridges
upside-down.
