For details on compatible ink tanks, see

You can replace ink tanks in 5.4 fl oz (160 ml), 11.2 fl oz (330 ml), and 23.7 fl oz (700 ml) capacities.

Precautions When Handling Ink Tanks

Take the following precautions when handling ink tanks.

Caution

• For safety, keep ink tanks out of the reach of children.
• If ink is accidentally ingested, contact a physician immediately.

Important

• There may be ink around the ink holes of an ink tank you removed. Handle the ink tanks carefully

during replacement. The ink may stain clothing.

• Do not install ink tanks used in this printer in another printer. This will prevent correct ink level

detection, which may damage the printer or cause other problems.

• We recommend using up an ink tank in the course of printing within six months after breaking the

seal. Printing quality may be affected if you use older ink tanks.

• Do not leave the printer without ink tanks installed for extended periods (a month or more). Residual

ink may become clogged inside the printer and affect printing quality.

How to Replace an Ink Tank

head cleaning. Ink may leak out.
