  2. Wait until the carriage stops moving before you continue.
  3. Remove the ink cartridge from its slot.
  4. Remove the new ink cartridge from its package, and then pull the orange pull-tab straight back to remove the plastic wrap.
      caution:
    Make sure you remove the orange pull-tab and plastic wrap completely before you remove the orange cap in the next step. Otherwise, ink might leak from the ink cartridge. When you remove the plastic wrap, the paper label on the top of the ink cartridge tears slightly, which is necessary to properly vent the ink cartridge.
