Replacing the Ink Tanks

This procedure describes how to replace the Ink Tank(s) when the ink runs out.
Please refer to the section titled
NOTE: We recommend the use of disposable gloves for this process.
1. Plug in the printer. Turn the printer's Main Power Switch ON; then press the control panel's
ON/OFF button. Wait about 45 seconds for the print engine to power-up (ON/OFF button will
illuminate).
2. Open the M Series Toolbox. Go to All Programs, select the "Memjet" folder, select the "M Series
Driver" folder and Open the "Toolbox".
A web browser will open and display the "Printer User Control" screen.
On the left side of the screen you will see information about the System Status and Ink levels.
Tip: If you receive a "Printer not
responding" message in your browser; check
to be sure the printer is powered on (ON/OFF
button is illuminated) and the USB cable is
connected.
Then click on Retry or close browser window
and re-open the Toolbox.
3. Make a note of the Ink Tank(s) that show that
they need to be replaced.
Example: INK_OUT_MAGENTA
Tip: The right-most graphic represents the
black ink tank, which is physically located in
the slot closest to the operator side of the
printer. The printer will stop printing if any
of the 5 ink tanks are empty or missing.
4. Power-down the printer using the ON/OFF Button. Wait about 45 seconds for the print engine to
shut-down (ON/OFF button light will turn off).
