INSTALLING THE INK CARTRIDGE

Your printer has a built-in ink tracking system. This system is

designed to warn you if your ink cartridge is low on ink. This

ensures your labels will print properly and that the printer can

create large batches of labels unattended and worry-free.
In order to make this system work properly, the cartridge

must be changed using the procedure listed below. Failure

to follow this procedure could result in inaccurate ink level

tracking and could cause your print quality to suffer.
