Ink Cartridge Problems

If output quality does not improve even after cleaning and
aligning the print heads, you may need to replace one or both
of the ink cartridges.
To replace an ink cartridge before the B or A ink out light is
flashing or on, follow these steps.
If the B or A ink out light is flashing or is on, replace the empty
ink cartridge as described in "Replacing an Ink Cartridge" on
page 8-2.
Caution:
c
Once you remove an ink cartridge, it becomes unusable and
cannot be reinstalled even if ink remains in it.
