to install the new one. Follow these steps:
1. Remove the new ink cartridge from its packaging.
2. Remove the yellow tape seal as shown:
Caution:
You must remove the yellow tape seal from the top of the
cartridge; leaving the tape on will permanently damage it.
Do not remove the clear seal from the bottom of the
cartridge; ink will leak out.
3. Lower the ink cartridge into its holder with the label
facing up and the arrow pointing to the back of the printer.
4. Press down the ink cartridge clamp until it locks in place.
5. If you need to replace the other ink cartridge, follow the
steps under “Removing an Empty Ink Cartridge,” and then
steps 1 through 4 under “Installing the New Cartridge.”

The printer moves the print heads and begins charging the
ink delivery system. (Even if you don’t press the button,
ink charging begins 60 seconds after you close the clamp.)

sounds. Charging takes about two minutes. When it’s
finished, you can print again.

power light is
flashing, unless the printer has not moved or made noise for
more than 5 minutes.
Replacing an Outdated Ink Cartridge
If an ink cartridge is more than six months old, you may
need to replace it. How can you tell? You may notice that
your printouts don’t look as good as they used to. If print
quality doesn’t improve after cleaning and aligning the print
heads, you can replace one or both cartridges.
