Remove an ink cartridge
There are two occasions when you need to remove an ink cartridge.
●
The ink cartridge is very low and you want to replace it with a full cartridge for unattended
printing (you can use up the remaining ink in the first cartridge at a more convenient time).
●
The ink cartridge is empty or faulty, and you must replace it to continue printing.
CAUTION:
Do not try to remove an ink cartridge while printing.
CAUTION:
Remove an ink cartridge only if you are ready to insert another one.
CAUTION:
Make sure the printer wheels are locked (the brake lever is pressed down) to prevent the
printer from moving.
NOTE:
When a cartridge runs out of ink, the current job is not automatically cancelled: unless you
cancel it manually, it will resume printing when the empty cartridge has been replaced. If there is a
delay in replacing the cartridge, you may see some banding on the print.
