Important
• Ink tanks are designed so that they cannot be inserted in incorrect locations. Be sure to install
the ink tank in its correct location.
• You cannot print unless all the ink tanks are installed. Be sure to install all the ink tanks.
• Once an ink tank is installed, do not remove it until the next replacement. If you remove an ink
tank with enough ink remaining in it, ink may spill out of it.
10. Close the tank cover.
When a message is displayed on the LCD, press the OK button.
Note
• After closing the tank cover, the printer starts loading ink. This takes up to about 1 to 2 minutes.
If you have set the printer to automatically mix ink, the printer then starts automatically mixing
the ink. This takes about 2 minutes. Wait until the completion message appears on the LCD.
• The printer may make noise while mixing ink.
• If the error message appears on the LCD after the tank cover is closed, take appropriate action.

Notes on ink tanks
Important
• If you remove an ink tank, replace it immediately. Do not leave the printer with the ink tank removed.
• Use a new ink tank for replacement. Installing a used ink tank may cause the nozzles to clog.
Furthermore, with such an ink tank, the printer will not be able to inform you when to replace the ink
tank properly.
• Once an ink tank has been installed, do not remove it from the printer and leave it out in the open.
This will cause the ink tank to dry out, and the printer may not operate properly when it is reinstalled.
To maintain optimal printing quality, use an ink tank within six months of first use.
Note
• Color ink may be consumed even when printing a black-and-white document or when black-and-
white printing is specified. Every ink is also consumed in the cleaning, deep cleaning, and system
cleaning of the print head, which may be necessary to maintain the performance of the printer.
When an ink tank is out of ink, replace it immediately with a new one.
