Each color has its own correct position. Insert each new ink cartridge into the 
carriage using the color indicator on the print head as a guide.

After installing the ink cartridges, close the scanner cover. Your MFC prepares 
for a “head cleaning” and goes online. The display screen prompts you to verify 
a new ink cartridge was inserted for each color you removed. Example: DID 
YOU CHANGE BLCK? 1. YES 2. NO.

If the ink cartridge you installed is not a brand new one, please make sure to 
select 2.

For each new cartridge, Press 

 on the dial pad to reset the ink dot counter for 

that color automatically. (The ink dot counter enables the MFC to notify you 
when a color is running low.)

The MFC will enter a cleaning cycle for approximately three minutes for each 
replaced cartridge. The display screen alternately shows CLEANING and 
PLEASE WAIT.

When the MFC completes the cleaning cycle, the display returns to Standby 
mode (date and time).

If ink gets in your eyes, irrigate them with water immediately. If irritation 
persists, consult your physician.

■

DO NOT remove ink cartridges if you do not need to replace them.  If you do 
so, it may reduce the ink quantity and the printer will not know the quantity of 
ink left in the cartridge.

■

DO NOT shake the ink cartridges, because the ink may spill when you take off 
the sealing tape.

■

If ink stains your body or clothing, wash with soap or detergent immediately.  

■

If you install an ink cartridge in the wrong color position, you must clean the 
print head several times before you start printing, after correcting the cartridge 
installation, because the colors were mixed.

■

Once you open an ink cartridge, install it in the MFC and use it up within six 
months of installation. Use unopened ink cartridges by the expiration date 
written on the cartridge package.

■

DO NOT refill the ink cartridges. Attempting to use refilled cartridges may 
cause damage to the print head and will void your warranty.

If the INK EMPTY error message is on the display after you have installed ink 
cartridges, check that the ink cartridges are installed correctly.
