Checking Ink Levels and Replacing Ink Cartridges
Before you begin a large print job, you should check your
ink levels. If one of your cartridges is low, you can replace
it before you start. Or you can wait until the ink runs
out, replace the cartridge, and then continue the job.

Levels
The easiest way to check ink levels is from the control
panel. The numbers below the ink cartridge icons
correspond to the 9 cartridge slots in the printer.
