Description
Learn how to replace or reseat ink tanks in the PIXMA MG5420 or MG5422 printer.
Solution
Follow the steps below to replace or reseat an ink tank.
Make sure the printer is turned ON.
Hold the sides of the paper output tray, and gently open it.
Lift the operation panel. The print head holder moves to the ink tank replacement position. Wait until it stops moving.
Push the tab (A) on an ink tank and lift it out of the printer.
Remove any other ink tanks from the holder if they need to be changed (see slide show images below).
Take the ink tank out of the package, and completely remove the orange tape and protective film . Make sure to remove the tape from the Y-shape air hole (B).
Handle an ink tank carefully. If you drop it or apply excessive pressure, the ink may splash and the machine may not print properly.
Hold the ink tank with orange cap (C) pointing up, and carefully remove the cap, being careful not to block the Y-shape air hole (D)
Try not to touch the inside of the orange cap (C) or the open ink port (B). Both may stain your hands.
Discard the cap and used ink tanks according to local laws for consumables.
Insert the ink tanks into their proper slots (see slide show images below).
Insert the front end of the ink tank into the print head at a slant. Make sure the position of the ink tank matches the label.
Press on the top of the ink tank until it snaps firmly into place. Make sure the ink lamp lights up red.
Gently close the operation panel.
If the print head carriage returns to the home position before the ink tank is installed, close the operation panel and reopen it as shown in step 3 (above).
