Replacing ink cartridges

Make sure you have a new ink cartridge or cartridges before you begin. You must install new cartridges immediately after removing the old ones, or the ink remaining in the printhead nozzles may dry out.

Removing ink cartridges

1. Turn on your printer.

2. Open the printer.

   

   Note: The printhead moves to the cartridge installation position.

3. Press the release tab, and then remove the used ink cartridge or cartridges.

   

Installing ink cartridges

1. Remove the ink cartridge from the pack, and then remove the protective cap from the ink cartridge.

   If your ink cartridge comes with a twist cap, then remove the cap.

   

2. Insert each ink cartridge. Slide your finger along the ink cartridge until the cartridge clicks into place.

   

   Notes:

   • Insert the color cartridges first, and then the black cartridge.
   • Insert the new ink cartridges immediately after removing the protective cap to avoid exposing the ink to air.

3. Close the printer.
