Before you begin a large print job, you should check your
ink levels. If one of your cartridges is low, you can replace it
before you start. Or, you can wait until the ink runs out,
replace the cartridge, and then continue the job without
any loss of print quality.
When one of the Ink Out lights stays on and Ink Out is
displayed on the control panel, the cartridge is empty. To
replace the cartridge, first make sure the printer is on.
1 Push the indentation on the ink compartment cover
to release the lock and open the cover.

2 Locate the slot containing the empty ink cartridge
corresponding to the Ink Out light. Press down on
the top of the clamp and pull it forward.
