Routine maintenance
B
Replacing the ink cartridges
B
Your machine is equipped with an ink sensor.
The ink sensor automatically monitors the
level of ink in each of the 4 cartridges. When
the machine detects an ink cartridge is
running out of ink, the machine will tell you
with a message on the LCD.
The LCD will tell you which ink cartridge is low
or needs replacing. Be sure to follow the LCD
prompts to replace the ink cartridges in the
correct order.
Even though the machine tells you that an ink
cartridge is empty, there will be a small
amount of ink left in the ink cartridge. It is
necessary to keep some ink in the ink
cartridge to prevent air from entering the print
head assembly.
a
Open the ink cartridge cover.
If one or more ink cartridges are empty,
for example Black, the LCD shows
Ink Empty Black
and
Replace Ink

b

take out the ink cartridge for the colour

colour shown on the LCD, and then take
out the ink cartridge.
