Installing the ink cartridges (NJ4)

NJ4 ink cartridges are supplied filled and can be refilled. (See Appen-
dix I for a discussion on refilling the cartridges.)
Color images require one cartridge each of cyan, magenta, yellow, and
black. Details on ordering replacement cartridges and ink refills are
included in Appendix G.
!
The ink used in the cartridges can be harmful if swallowed.
Keep the ink cartridges away from small children.
Ink cartridges can dry out quickly, so keep them sealed in the
original containers until you're ready to install them.
Each time you place new ink cartridges in the printer, prime and
calibrate them to ensure the highest quality printed images. Priming
and calibration procedures are discussed later in this chapter.
