Replacing ink cartridges

Follow these steps to replace ink cartridges.

Step one: Replace the old ink cartridge

  1. Make sure the product is on and there is letter or A4 unused plain white paper loaded in the input tray.
      caution:
    If the product is off when opening the ink cartridge door to access the ink cartridges, the product does not release the cartridges for changing. Attempting to remove unreleased ink cartridges might damage the product.
  2. Open the cartridge door.

    note:
    Make sure the carriage moves to the center of the product. If the carriage does not move to the center, turn the product off and then turn it back on again.
  3. Wait until the print carriage is idle and silent, and then lightly press down on an ink cartridge to release it.
    • If replacing the tri-color ink cartridge, remove the ink cartridge from the slot on the left.
    • If replacing the black or photo ink cartridge, remove the ink cartridge from the slot on the right.
