    Replacing an Ink Tank

    The printer will not print properly if the wrong ink tank is used, or installed in 
    the incorrect position.
    „ Replacing an Ink Tank
    When an ink tank runs out of ink, replace it using the following steps.
    1Ensure that the printer is turned on, and then open the Print Head Cover.
    The Print Head Holder moves to the center.

    Note • To maintain optimal print quality, use an ink tank within six months 
    of its first use.
    • Once an ink tank has been used, do not remove it from the printer  and leave it out in the open. This will cause the ink tank to dry out 
    and the printer may not function properly if it is reinstalled.
    • Color ink consumption may occur even when black-and-white or  grayscale printing is specified.
    Color ink is consumed in the head cleaning and deep cleaning, 
    which are necessary to maintain the printer’s capabilities.
    • When an ink tank runs out of ink, replace the ink tank with a new one  immediately.
    If printing is continued with no ink in the ink tank, a problem may 
    occur. And, the Low Ink Warning dialog which tells the exchange 
    time of the ink tank cannot be indicated properly.
