      Removing the ink cassette
    1
    Open the ink cassette 
    compartment cover.
    2
    Pull the ink cassette as 
    shown in the figure to the 
    right.
    3
    Close the ink cassette 
    compartment cover.
      Notice of Ink Cassettes
    The numbers of the ink sheets and papers in the Paper and Ink set are matched. An ink 
    cassette provides enough ink to print 36 sheets of paper (20 sheets of paper when using 
    wide size paper). Store the ink cassette and papers used together. The number of the 
    rest of papers give an indication of the number of the rest of the ink sheets. (If you use 
    a sheet of paper more than twice, the number of the rest of the ink sheets may not be 
    matched.)
    Important
    •  Do not open the ink cassette compartment cover during printing, as print quality may be 
    reduced.
    •  Do not reuse a used ink cassette and be sure to dispose according to local regulations.
    •  Do not touch or pull on the ink sheet until it is used up.
     Pull the  ink cassette eject lever 
    (green) upward.
     Pull the ink cassette straight out.
