Tips for working with cartridges
Use the following tips to work with cartridges:
●
To protect the cartridges from drying out, always turn the printer off using the Power button, and wait
until the Power button light goes out.
●
Do not open or untape cartridges until you are ready to install them. Leaving tape on the cartridges
reduces ink evaporation.
●
Insert the cartridges into the correct slots. Match the color and icon of each cartridge to the color and
icon for each slot. Make sure the cartridges snap into place.
●
Align the printer for best print quality. See
Printing issues on page 90 for more information.
●
When the Estimated Ink Levels screen shows one or both cartridges in a low state, consider getting
replacement cartridges to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need to replace the cartridges until
print quality becomes unacceptable. See
Replace ink cartridges on page 60 for more information.
●
If you remove a cartridge from the printer for any reason, try to replace it again as soon as possible.
Outside of the printer, if unprotected, cartridges begin to dry out.
