Replacing Ink Cartridges

Before you begin a large print job, you should check your ink levels. If one of
your cartridges is low, you can replace it before you start. Or you can wait
until the ink runs out, replace the cartridge, and then continue the job
without any loss of print quality. However, it is best to replace a low ink
cartridge before starting a large print job.

The easiest way to check ink levels is from the control panel:

When the red B ink light is flashing (and

INK LOW

is displayed on the LCD

panel), the indicated cartridge is almost out of ink. Make sure you have a
replacement cartridge. When the light stays on and

INK OUT

is displayed,

the cartridge is empty. You must replace the cartridge before you can
continue printing.

You can install any combination of 110 ml and 220 ml cartridges. It’s a good
idea to keep a set of empty 110 ml cartridges on hand at all times in case you
need to ship the printer.

Tip: You can store
partially used ink
cartridges for up to
6 months.
