Ink Tanks
Replacing the Ink Tanks
Replace the Ink Tanks when the ink runs out.
This procedure is almost identical to the procedure for installing new Ink
Tanks into a new printer. The only difference are:
- The Toolbox will display an “Ink_Out..” condition; once the ink in a
particular Tank is depleted.
- The empty Ink Tank(s) must be removed before installing the new Tank(s).
With these differences in mind; please refer to the section titled “Installing
the Ink Tanks”.
Cleaning Ink Tank Contacts
When reinstalling or replacing Ink Tanks, the Ink Level indicators in the Toolbox may show “?” or “out”,
for one or more Tank positions.
- The “out” condition may be due to a dirty Ink Tank Level Prism.
- The “?” condition may be due to dirty QA Chip contacts.
You can clean the prism and Tank contacts as follows:
1. Open the Toolbox Utility.
2. Click “Replace Ink Tanks”. Once the
“Confirm” window opens, it is safe to
remove the Ink Tanks.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT press
“Continue” until after you have installed the Ink Tank(s) and verified that the Ink Tank Latches
are securely closed.
3. Open the Ink Tank Door.
4. Release the corresponding Ink Tank Latch(es) [A] and remove the Ink Tank(s) [B] that had shown
the Ink status as “?” or “Out”.
