Replacing Ink Cartridges

Using the Printer's Control Panel

This printer uses ink cartridges equipped with IC chips. The IC
chip accurately monitors the amount of ink used by each
cartridge, so even if a cartridge is removed and later inserted
again, all of its ink can be used. However, some ink is consumed
each time the cartridge is inserted because the printer
automatically checks reliability.
You can replace an ink cartridge using the printer's control panel
or using the Status Monitor utility. To replace an ink cartridge
using the e ink cartridge replacement button on the printer's
control panel, follow the steps below. To replace an ink cartridge
or check ink levels using the Status Monitor utility, refer to "Using
the Status Monitor" in the online Reference Guide.
