Replacing an Outdated Ink Cartridge

If an ink cartridge is more than six months old, you may need

to replace it. How can you tell? You may notice that your

printouts don't look as good as they used to. If print quality

doesn't improve after cleaning and aligning the print heads,

you can replace one or both cartridges.

Follow these steps to replace an ink cartridge before the

black or

color ink out light is flashing or on:

1. Make sure the printer is turned on and not printing.

2. Lower the output tray and raise the printer cover. Then

locate the

black and

control panel under the printer's cover.

Caution:

To avoid damaging the printer, never move the print heads by hand.

3. Press both the

black and

hold them down for a few seconds until the black print head

moves to the left.

To replace the black ink cartridge, follow the instructions

beginning with step 4 of "Removing an Empty Ink

Cartridge" on page 9.

To replace the color ink cartridge, press the

cleaning button and hold it down for a few seconds. After

the color ink cartridge moves to the left, follow the

instructions beginning with step 4 of "Removing an

Empty Ink Cartridge" on page 9.

Cleaning the Print Heads

If your printed image is unexpectedly light or faint, or dots are

missing from the image, you may need to clean the print

heads. This unclogs the nozzles so they can deliver ink

properly.

Cleaning the print heads uses ink, so clean them only if print

quality declines. You can clean the print heads in either of the

following ways:

With the Head Cleaning utility in your printer software

(when the printer is on a local port, not on a network)

computer or a Macintosh:

black and
