Handle the print cartridges
Before you replace or clean a print cartridge, you should know the part names and how
to handle the print cartridges.
1 Copper-colored contacts
2 Plastic tape with pink pull tab (must be removed before installing)
3 Ink nozzles under tape
Hold the print cartridges by their black plastic sides, with the label on top. Do not touch
the copper-colored contacts or the ink nozzles.
