Replacing the ink cartridge
B
Your machine is equipped with an ink dot
counter. The ink dot counter automatically
monitors the level of ink in the cartridge.
When the machine detects an ink cartridge is
running out of ink, the machine will tell you
with a message on the LCD.
Be sure to follow the LCD prompts to replace
the ink cartridge in the correct order.
Even though the machine tells you that an ink
cartridge is empty, there will be a small
amount of ink left in the ink cartridge. It is
necessary to keep some ink in the ink
cartridge to prevent air from drying out and
damaging the print head assembly.
a
Open the ink cartridge cover.
If the ink cartridge is empty, the LCD
shows
Ink Empty Black
and
