Replacing Ink Cartridges

Replace the ink cartridge using the following procedure.

 
After replacing an ink cartridge, run a test to confirm proper printing.

1. Spread the document guides all the way to the left and right.
   
   
2. With your finger, push in the area of the imprinter cover shown by the arrow to release it.
   The imprinter cover unlocks and opens to the front.
    
   
   
3. Open the imprinter cover until it makes contact with the eject tray.
    
    
   Perform the steps that follow with the imprinter cover fully open.
   
   
4. Pull the lock lever outward (1) to release the ink cartridge lock (2).
    
   
   
5. Remove the ink cartridge.
    
   
   
6. Peel off the seal covering the nozzles of a new ink cartridge.
    
    CAUTION
   Peel off the seal coving the nozzles of a cartridge only if you are going to use it immediately. Also, avoid touching the metal contacts or nozzles of the ink cartridge.
    
   
   
7. Install the new cartridge with the nozzles facing to the right.
    
   
   
8. Push the ink cartridge as indicated by the arrow until it clicks into place.
    
   
   
9. Adjust the carriage position by moving it left or right, then make sure you can feel it click in.
    
    
   If you do not feel it click in, the carriage is not aligned correctly with a positioning hole. Always move the carriage to a position where it clicks in.
   
   
10. Close the imprinter cover.
    With your finger, push in the area of the imprinter cover shown by the arrow to lock it.
     
     
    The imprinter cover will not close unless the carriage is correctly aligned with a positioning hole. If it will not close, check the position of the carriage.
     
    When closing the imprinter cover, make sure that it is locked so that it will not open unexpectedly. An error message appears on the display panel if the imprinter cover is open.
