9. Press the A cleaning button and close the printer cover.
The printer moves the print head and begins charging the
ink delivery system.
The P power light flashes, and the printer makes noise.
Charging takes about 30 seconds. When it's finished, the
Ppower light stops flashing and stays on.
Never turn off the printer while the Ppower light is
flashing, unless the printer hasn't moved or made noise for
more than 5 minutes.

Replacing an Outdated Ink Cartridge

When an ink cartridge is more than six months old, you may
need to replace it if you notice that your printouts don't look
as good as they used to. If print quality doesn't improve after
cleaning and aligning the print head, you can replace one or
both cartridges.
Follow these steps to replace an ink cartridge before the B black
or A color ink out light is flashing or on:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and not printing (the
Ppower light should be on, but not flashing), then open
the printer cover.
2. Press the S load/eject button and hold it for about three
seconds until the print head moves left and the Ppower
light begins flashing.
To avoid damaging the printer, 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, even if it contains ink.
3. Pull up the ink cartridge clamp. The cartridge rises up from
its holder. (The illustration shows color ink cartridge
replacement. To replace the black ink cartridge, lift up only
the smaller clamp on the left.)

4. Lift the cartridge out of the printer and dispose of it
carefully.
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and don't
drink the ink.
If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap
and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them
immediately with water.
5. Unwrap the new ink cartridge. Then remove only the yellow
part of the tape seal on top.

You must remove the yellow tape from the top of the
cartridge or you will permanently damage it. Don't try to
remove the clear seal underneath the cartridge.
6. Tilt each cartridge forward slightly as you lower it into its
holder. Hang the tabs at the back of the cartridge on the
hooks.
Don't place the cartridges under
the hooks; you may damage the
clamp when you close it.
