Replacing Ink Cartridges
The easiest way of checking ink levels is from the control
panel LCD display. The numbers below the ink icons on the
LCD display correspond to the 8 ink cartridge slots on the
printer. The icons show the approximate amount of ink
remaining as follows:
When the red
B Ink light is flashing and INK LOW appears on
the LCD display, the indicated cartridge is almost expended.
Make sure you have a replacement cartridge. When the lights
stay on and
REPLACE INK CARTRIDGE is displayed, the
cartridge is expended. You must replace the cartridge before
you can continue printing.
See page 4 for information on selecting the correct
replacement cartridges. You can install any combination of
110 ml and 220 ml cartridges. Before you start, make sure the
printer is powered on. Then follow these steps to replace an
ink cartridge:
1. Note the color of the cartridge that is low or expended. This
is the cartridge you need to replace.
2. Press the ink compartment covers to open them.
Caution:
Leave the expended cartridge in the printer until you are ready to
replace it.
To prevent ink reporting errors, never replace the ink cartridges
with the printer turned off.
