Replacing an ink tank

When replacing the ink tanks, confirm that the new ink tanks are installed properly. If the ink tanks are not locked into place, paper may not be fed properly, or ink may not be supplied to the print head.

Recommended Ink Tanks:

1. Confirm that the printer is powered on and press the Open button. (The paper output tray will open.)

2. Lift the scanning unit (printer cover) completely. (The print head will move to the replacement position.)
   
   
   
   Note:  When the scanning unit (printer cover) is opened more than ten minutes, the print head moves to the right side. If this occurs, close the scanning unit (printer cover), and open it again.
   
   

3. Open the inner cover.
   
   

4. Press on the tab to release the ink tank, then remove it from its slot. If you are replacing multiple ink tanks, make sure to replace one by one.
   
   
   
   

5. Check the ink tank. If the orange tape is as shown in Figure <1>, it is properly removed. If the tape is not removed (as in figure <2>, pleease remove the extra tape).
   
   
   
   

6. Insert the ink tanks into the print head.
   
   Note:  Press the mark "PUSH" on the ink tank firmly until you hear a click.

   • - Slow flashing (at about three second interval): Ink is low. Prepare a new ink tank.

   • - Fast flashing (at about one second interval): Ink tank is empty, or the printer is not ready due to an error.

   • - Off: An error has occurred and the printer is not ready to print.
