Tips for working with cartridges

Use the following tips to work with cartridges:

●

To protect the cartridges from drying out, always turn the printer off using the

button, and

wait until the

button light goes out.

●

Do not open or untape cartridges until you are ready to install them. Leaving tape on the

cartridges reduces ink evaporation.

●

Insert the cartridges into the correct slots. Match the color and icon of each cartridge to the color

and icon for each slot. Make sure the cartridges snap into place.

●

Align the printer for best print quality. See

for more

information.

●

When the Estimated Ink Levels screen shows one or both cartridges in a low state, consider

getting replacement cartridges to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need to replace the

cartridges until print quality becomes unacceptable. See

for

more information.

●

If you remove a cartridge from the printer for any reason, try to replace it again as soon as

possible. Outside of the printer, if unprotected, cartridges begin to dry out.
