Precautions when handling ink tanks
Take the following precautions when handling ink tanks.
• There may be ink around the ink supply section of ink tanks you removed. Handle ink tanks carefully during
replacement. The ink may stain clothing.
• We recommend using up an Ink Tank in the course of printing within six months after breaking the seal. Printing
quality may be affected if you use older ink tanks.
• Do not leave the printer without ink tanks installed for extended periods (a month or more). Residual ink may
become clogged inside the printer and affect printing quality.
Make sure the printer is ready for ink tank replacement
Ink Tank replacement is possible in the following cases.
You can replace ink tanks if the Display Screen advises you to check the
amount of ink left or replace ink tanks.
If a message requests you to replace ink tanks, press the OK button.
In this case, go to " Remove the ink tanks " without following the instructions in

• Do not remove an Ink Tank during initialization immediately after turning on the printer, or during printhead cleaning.
• Ink Tank replacement is possible even during printing, when print jobs are being canceled, or when paper is being
advanced.
