ink cartridges as described in the next section.

Replacing an Ink Cartridge

You need to replace an ink cartridge when it runs out of ink
(the printer stops printing that color) or if print quality declines
and cleaning the print head did not improve it. You can check
print quality by doing a printer self test, as described in your
Setup and Software Guide.
