Replacing an Ink Tank

This section explains the way to confirm the ink status and the procedure to replace ink tanks.
When ink runs out or other errors occur, an error message is displayed on the LCD to inform you of
the error. See "An Error Message Is Displayed on the LCD" on page 133 and confirm how to handle
it.
When printing from your computer, error messages appear on your computer screen as well.
Note
Be sure to install the ink tanks in the correct order indicated by the label on the Print Head Holder. The
machine will not print if an ink tank is installed in the incorrect position.
For information on the compatible ink tanks, see the back cover of this guide.
If printing becomes faint or white streaks appear despite sufficient ink levels, see "When Printing
Becomes Faint or Colors Are Incorrect" on page 114.
Getting the Ink Status Information
You can confirm the status of ink tanks in the following two ways:
"With the LCD of this Machine" on page 107
"With the Ink Lamps" on page 108
