Precautions When Handling Ink Tanks Take the following precautions when handling ink tanks.
Page 341 Important • Do not remove an ink tank during initialization immediately after turning on the printer, or during print head cleaning. Ink may leak out. Note • Ink tank replacement is possible even during printing, when print jobs are being canceled, or when paper is being advanced.
Page 342 Important • Avoid jarring the printer a lot when replacing an ink tank. Handle the printer gently when replacing tanks. 2. Pull forward handle part (A) of ink tank lock lever of color to replace while pressing button at B. 3.
Page 343 Note • Dispose of the used ink tank in accordance with local regulations. Removing ink tank (23.7 fl oz (700 ml)) 1. Open the ink tank cover of the ink tank you are replacing and check the ink lamp. The ink lamp flashes if there is no ink left. Important •...
Page 344 Note • Check that the ink tank lock lever does not return. 4. Remove ink tank by handle (A), and then tap OK. Important • Store the removed ink tank with ink remaining in the box with the ink holes (A) facing up. Otherwise, ink may leak and cause stains.
Page 345 Loading ink tank (5.4 fl oz (160 ml) / 11.2 fl oz (330 ml)) 1. Before opening the pouch, tilt the ink tank to the left and right gently seven or eight times. Important • Do not remove and agitate an ink tank that has already been installed in the printer. Ink may leak out.
Page 346 • Avoid dropping the ink tank after removing it from the pouch. Otherwise, ink may leak and cause stains. 3. Tap OK and insert ink tank into holder with ink holes down and metal contacts at rear. Important • An ink tank cannot be loaded in the holder if the color or orientation is incorrect. If the ink tank does not fit in the holder, do not force it into the holder.
Page 347 6. Make sure ink lamp indicator is lit. Note • If the ink lamp is not lit, reload the tank. 7. Close ink tank cover.
Page 348 Loading ink tank (23.7 fl oz (700 ml)) 1. Before opening the pouch, hold the new ink tank with both hands and tilt it to the left and right as shown, shaking it gently seven or eight times. Caution • A 23.7 fl oz (700 ml) ink tank is heavy, so use your whole arm to agitate it instead of just your wrist.
