Replacing Ink Cartridges 131
If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning three or four times, check the
solutions beginning on page 139. You can also turn the Stylus Photo RX600 off
and wait overnight—this allows any dried ink to soften—and then try cleaning
the print head again.
Caution:
When you don’t turn on your Stylus Photo RX600 for a long time, the print quality can
decline. It’s a good idea to turn it on at least once a month to maintain good print quality.
Replacing Ink Cartridges
When the red ! light flashes, one or more ink cartridges are low on ink.
When your ink starts getting low, make sure you have replacement cartridges
available. You can’t print if a cartridge is empty.
When the red
! light stays on, you need to replace the cartridge(s).
When you print with low or empty ink cartridges,
you’ll see a message on your RX600 screen. Check
this icon in the upper right corner to see which
cartridge is low or empty:
If you can’t see the icon clearly enough, press the
Setup button, then press the
d button to select
LCD Contrast Adjustment. Use the l and r buttons to
decrease or increase the contrast as necessary to see the icon clearly, then press the
OK button.
When a cartridge is more than six months old, you may need to replace it if
printouts don’t look their best. If the quality doesn’t improve after cleaning and
aligning the print head, you can replace the cartridge even if the red
! light is off.
