Replacing an Outdated Ink Cartridge

If an ink cartridge is more than six months old, you may need to replace it. If your

printouts don’t look as good as they used to and print quality doesn’t improve after

cleaning and aligning the print head, try replacing one or both cartridges.

Follow these steps to replace an ink cartridge before the

black or color ink out

light is flashing or on:

1. Make sure the printer is turned on and not printing.

2. Lower the output tray and raise the printer cover.

3. Press the

load/eject button and hold it down for a few seconds until the

print head moves to the left. Never move the print head by hand.

4. Pull up the ink cartridge clamp. The cartridge rises up from its holder.

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.

5. Lift the cartridge out of the printer and dispose of it carefully.

6. Remove the new ink cartridge from its package. Remove only the yellow

part of the tape seal on the top of the cartridge. Do not remove the blue

part. (It’s okay if a bit of the yellow tape stays on.)

Caution:

You must remove the yellow tape seal from the top of the cartridge or

you will permanently damage it.

7. Lower the ink cartridge into its holder with the label facing up and toward

the back of the printer.

8. Press down the ink cartridge clamp until it locks in place.

9. Press the load/eject button and close the printer cover. The printer moves

the print head and begins charging the ink delivery system. The

power light flashes and the printer makes various sounds. Never turn off

the printer while the power light is flashing, unless the printer hasn’t

moved or made any noise for more than 5 minutes. Charging takes about

one minute. When it’s finished, you can print again.
