1.3.4 Replacing the ink tanks

You can replace the ink tanks of the BC-61 and BC-62e Photo BJ cartridges (not the
BC-60 BJ cartridge). Replace the ink tanks as described below.
1) When to replace the ink tank
Replace the ink tank in any of the following cases: the ink runs out, the ink tank is
out of its package for over six months, and the printing quality does not improve
even after the head is cleaned.
The color ink tanks of the BC-61 and BC-62e Photo contain multiple colors; if one
ink color runs out, the entire color ink tank must be replaced.
2) Removing an ink tank
Press the REPLACE button to move the carriage to the cartridge replacement
position (you can also use the printer driver).
As shown in Figure 3-8, lift the front of the ink tank to remove the ink tank from the
holder. Do not touch or let your clothing come in contact with the ink feeds on the
ink tank.
3) Installing an ink tank
Remove a new ink tank from its box, then remove the cap from the ink feeds as
shown in Figure 3-9. Install the ink tank in the holder in the reverse procedure from
that described above.
After installing the ink tank in the holder, press the REPLACE button to return the
carriage to the capping position.
