Remove an ink cartridge
There are three 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.
●
You want to replace the printhead, and there is not enough ink left in the ink cartridge to complete the
printhead replacement process. In this case, if the cartridge is not empty you can use it again later.
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.
