Maintenance
You can keep the operation of the product at its best
by performing the procedures described in this
chapter. Also, this section includes instructions on
how to replace ink cartridges and transport the
product.
Replacing Ink Cartridges
When an ink cartridge is low, the icon shown below
is displayed in the upper-left corner of the LCD
screen.
When printing or copying, a bar showing which ink
cartridge is low is displayed next to the Ink Low icon.
When an ink cartridge is expended, the following
LCD screen is displayed.
Tip:
If a cartridge is more than six months old, print quality may decline.
If necessary, try cleaning the print head (& “Checking the print
head” on page 22). If printouts still do not look their best, you may
need to replace the cartridge.
