Replacing an Ink Cartridge
❏ When the red H ink light flashes, one or more ink cartridges
are low on ink.
❏ When the red H ink light stays on, you need to replace one
or more cartridges.
You'll also see a message on your screen when you print telling
you which cartridge is low or expended.
When a cartridge is more than six months old, you may need
to replace it if printouts don't look their best. If the quality
doesn't improve after cleaning and aligning the print head,
you can replace the cartridge even if the red H ink light is off.

Ink Cartridge Precautions
Warning: Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do
not drink the ink.
Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges; there may be ink
remaining around the ink supply port. If ink gets on your skin, wash
it off with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them
immediately with water.
Caution: After bringing an ink cartridge inside from a cold storage
site, allow it to warm up at room temperature for at least three
hours before using it.
Do not use an ink cartridge beyond the date printed on the package.
For best results, use up the ink cartridges within six months of first
.
installing them.
Do not dismantle ink cartridges or try to refill them. This could
damage the print head.
Note: You cannot continue printing with one ink cartridge
expended, even if the other cartridges still contain ink. Before
printing, replace the expended cartridge.
The IC chip on these ink cartridges retains a variety of cartridge
related-information, such as the ink cartridge status, so that the
cartridge may be removed and reinserted freely. However, each
time the cartridge is inserted, some ink is consumed because the
printer automatically performs a reliability check.
If you remove a cartridge that is low (for which you have received
an "Ink low" message), you cannot reuse it.
