Replacing Ink Tanks
When the Rep. Ink Tank (Replace Ink
Tank) Message Is Displayed
When the ink in a tank runs out, the Rep. Ink Tank
message is displayed and the printer stops printing.
Replace the ink tank as soon as this message appears.
When you open the right back cover, you will see the
amount of ink remaining for each color along with its
notation (Y= Yellow, M= Magenta, PM= Photo Magenta,
C=Cyan, PC= Photo Cyan, Bk= Black). A flashing color
display means the ink tank of that color should be
replaced.
Note
If ink has run out in more than one ink tank at the same
time, a message is displayed for each color that is out
of ink. Replace the ink tanks for all of the colors
displayed to resume printing.

Ink Tank Handling Precautions

Follow the precautions below when handling ink tanks.
Caution
Always store ink tanks in a safe location where they
are out of the reach of small children. If a child licks or
ingests ink accidentally, seek medical assistance
immediately.
Important
Before installing an ink tank, slowly rotate it from side
to side 7 or 8 times before breaking the seal. If you do
not shake the ink tank, the ink may sediment, causing
reduced printing quality.
After breaking the seal on an ink tank, avoid dropping
or shaking it. Spilled ink can stain the surrounding
area.
The ink supply ports of empty ink tanks may be
covered with ink. Always handle ink tanks carefully.
The ink could spill on your clothing and make stains
that cannot be removed.
It is recommended that ink tanks be fully used within
six months after opening the seal. Using an ink tank for
longer than this could cause the quality of printing to
deteriorate.
Never leave the printer for long periods of time (one
month or more) with an ink tank removed. The ink
remaining in the printer may clog up the printer and
lead to poor print quality.
