9. Close the ink cartridge cover and press it until it clicks into place.
10. Close the printer cover, then press the
charging ink. This takes about one minute.
Caution:
Never turn off the printer while ink is charging or you'll waste ink.
Note:
You cannot continue printing with one ink cartridge expended, even if the other
cartridges still contain ink. Before printing, replace the expended cartridge.
The printer uses ink cartridges equipped with IC chips that monitor the amount of
ink used by each cartridge. Cartridges are usable even if they are removed and
reinserted. Some ink is consumed each time cartridges are inserted, however,
because the printer automatically checks their reliability.
If you remove a cartridge that is low (for which you have received an "Ink low"
message), you cannot reuse it.
Ink is consumed during the following operations: print head cleaning, self-cleaning
(performed when the printer is turned on), and ink charging (when an ink cartridge
is installed).
