Ink Cartridges; Checking Ink Levels; Replacing Ink Cartridges - Kodak ESP 3 User Manual

ink cartridges

Your Kodak printer uses separate black and colour ink cartridges. The ink levels show on the
Control Panel and in the printer software. When replacing, use genuine Kodak ink cartridges to
ensure best results and avoid printhead damage not covered under warranty.

Checking ink levels

You can easily check the ink levels to determine how soon you might need to replace an ink
cartridge. The Control Panel has two ink level indicators under the
ink cartridge and one for the colour ink cartridge. These indicators blink very slowly when ink levels
are low and fast when the ink cartridges should be replaced or need attention.

Replacing ink cartridges

Important For the best quality prints, store ink cartridges in a location where the temperature
does not exceed 85°F (30°C).
Warning

contain the necessary Smart Chip information to notify you before the ink cartridge is
