5. Open the cartridge cover.

out of the printer. Don’t take the used cartridge apart or try 
to refill it.

Warning: If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with 
soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them 
immediately with water.

7. Before you remove the new cartridge from its package, 

shake it four or five times. Then remove it from the 
package.

Caution: Do not remove 
or tear the label on the 
cartridge; otherwise ink 
will leak. 

Don’t touch the green 
chip on the front of the 
cartridge; you may inhibit 
normal operation and 
printing.

power light stops flashing and stays on, and the 

red   light goes out.

Caution: Never turn off the printer while the green

 

power 

light is flashing, or you’ll waste ink.

Note: If the red 

light stays on (not flashing), the ink cartridge 

may not be installed correctly. Press the 

 ink button again and 

reinstall the ink cartridge until it clicks into place.

If your printouts look blurry or grainy, or you see light or dark 
vertical banding, you may need to align the print head. 

Note: Banding may also occur if your cartridges are low on ink or you 
need to clean the print head.
