Prepare the printer and cartridges
1.
Make sure you have removed the cardboard
from inside the printer and the power is on.

Do not touch the ink nozzles or the copper-colored
contacts, and do not re-tape the cartridges.
Insert the cartridges
1.
If you are replacing a cartridge, push down and
pull outward on the cartridge stall cover to
open it and then pull the cartridge out.
2. Match the symbol on the cartridge label to the
correct stall.
3. Hold the cartridge with the label on top and
slide it at a slight upward angle into the stall so
the copper-colored contacts go in first. Push
the cartridge until it snaps into place.
4. Close the cartridge stall cover.
5. Repeat the previous steps to install the other
cartridges, if necessary.
6. When you are finished installing cartridges,
close the main cover.
You must install all three cartridges in order for the
printer to work as intended.
Tip Ink-backup printing mode lets you keep
printing even if one of the cartridges fails or runs
out of ink. Remove the cartridge and close the main
cover to enter ink-backup printing mode. The
printer continues to print, but at a slower speed and
with inferior print quality. A message reminds you
that the printer is in ink-backup printing mode.
Replace the cartridge as soon as possible.
