You must remove the
yellow tape from the
top of the cartridge or
you will permanently
damage it. Do not
remove the clear seal
from the bottom of
the cartridge; ink will
leak out.
To avoid damaging
the printer, never
move the print head
by hand.

If you need to replace an ink cartridge before the lights flash (because the
ink is too old, for example), follow the instructions in
Outdated Ink Cartridge.

You can replace a cartridge when the B black or A color ink out light is
either flashing or on. (If you perform these steps when both ink out lights
are off, the printer cleans the print heads, as described in
Print Head.) Follow these steps to replace ink cartridges:
1 Remove the new ink cartridge from its packaging.
2 Remove only the yellow part of the tape seal on top as shown below.
Don't pull off the blue portion or try to remove the clear seal
underneath the cartridge.
