ink delivery system. (Even if you don’t press the button, ink 
charging begins 60 seconds after you close the clamp.)

Replacing the Black Ink Cartridge
You can replace a cartridge when the 
B
 black ink out light is 
flashing, or when it stays on.

2. Pull up the black ink cartridge clamp. The cartridge rises up 
from its holder.
3. Lift the cartridge out of the printer and dispose of it 
carefully.
caution
Never turn off the 
printer while the 
P
power light is 
flashing, unless the 
printer hasn’t moved or 
made any noise for more 
than 5 minutes.
caution
Don’t open the clamp or 
remove a cartridge except 
to replace it with a new 
one. Once you remove a 
cartridge, you can’t reuse 
it, even if it contains ink.
warning
If ink gets on your 
hands, wash them 
thoroughly with soap 
and water. If ink gets 
into your eyes, flush 
them immediately with 
water. Keep ink 
cartridges out of the 
reach of children.
