the ink is too old, for example) follow the instructions in "Replacing
an Outdated Ink Cartridge" on page 8.

Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges

Note:
If you press the R cleaning button when neither ink out light is
flashing or on, the printer cleans the print head (see "Cleaning the
Print Head" on page 8).
You can replace a cartridge when the B black or A color ink
out light is either flashing or on. Be sure you have a new ink
cartridge before you begin. Once you start the ink cartridge
replacement procedure, you must complete all the steps in one
session. Follow these steps:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and not printing (the
P power light should be on, but not flashing).
2. Lower the output tray and raise the printer cover.
3. Press the R cleaning button and hold it for three seconds.
The print head moves slightly to the left and the P power
light begins flashing.
Never move the print head by hand.
Don't open the clamp or remove a cartridge except to
replace it with a new one. Once you remove a cartridge,
you can't reuse it.
4. Unwrap the new ink cartridge. Then pull off only the
yellow part of the tape seal on the top of the cartridge.
You must remove only the yellow tape seal from the top
of the cartridge; leaving the tape on will permanently
damage it. Do not remove the clear seal from the bottom
of the cartridge; ink will leak.

5. Pull up the ink cartridge clamp. The cartridge rises up from
its holder. (The illustration shows the color ink cartridge
replacement. To replace the black ink cartridge, lift up only
the smaller clamp on the left.)
6. Lift the cartridge out of the printer and dispose of it
carefully.
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.
If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with
soap and water. If ink gets in your eyes, flush them
immediately with water.
7. Lower the new ink cartridge into its holder with the label
facing up and toward the back of the printer.
8. Press down the ink cartridge clamp until it locks in place.
9. If you need to replace the other ink cartridge, repeat steps 3
through 8 before continuing with step 10.
10. Press the R cleaning button and close the printer cover.
The printer moves the print head and begins charging the
ink delivery system. The Ppower light flashes and the
printer makes various sounds. Charging takes about one
minute. When it's finished, you can print again.
Never turn off the printer while the P power light is
flashing, unless the printer hasn't moved or made any
noise for more than 5 minutes.
