Phaser 300X Color Printer

Adding ink

Warning

The melted ink is hot.

The Phaser 300X Color Printer is shipped already loaded with ColorStix ink.
Add ink when the front panel displays the message that tells you to add ink,
or when the

INK LEVEL

icon in the front panel indicates a half-full or empty

condition. For example, when you see the following message, add a black
ink stick:

Stopped -- Add black

When the

INK LEVEL

is half-full, add one ink stick. When the

INK LEVE

L is

empty, you can add two ink sticks; however, load one right after the other (if
you delay, the printer will not allow the second ink stick to be loaded for
approximately 15 minutes).

Caution

Do not load used ink into the printer. Reusing waste ink ruins
the printhead and invalidates the warranty.

Do not load broken ink sticks; they can cause the ink-loading
system to jam.

The ColorStix ink sticks will break if dropped; handle them with care. Keep
them in their original containers until you are ready to use them.
