Removing an Empty Ink Cartridge

You can replace a cartridge when the

turned on and not printing before you start. Determine which
ink cartridge needs to be replaced, then follow these steps:
1. Lower the output tray and raise the printer cover.
2. Press the black or
Y
three seconds.
Caution:
If you press a cleaning button when no ink out light is flashing or
on, the printer cleans the print heads, as described on page 11. If
you need to replace an ink cartridge before the lights flash (because
the ink is too old, for example), follow the instructions under
"Replacing an Outdated Ink Cartridge" on page 10.
The print heads move slightly left and the
begins flashing. (The print heads return to their home
position if you don't proceed to step 4 within 60 seconds.)
Caution:
To avoid damaging the printer, never move the print heads by hand.
3. Pull up the ink cartridge clamp. The cartridge rises up from
its holder. (Although the illustration shows the black ink
