Replacing the ink
cartridges
A
Your machine is equipped with an ink dot
counter. The ink dot counter monitors the
level of ink in each of the four cartridges.
When the machine detects an ink cartridge is
running out of ink, the machine will display a
message.
The Touchscreen will show which ink
cartridge is low or needs replacing. Be sure to
follow the Touchscreen prompts to replace
the ink cartridges in the correct order.
Even though the machine tells you to replace
an ink cartridge, 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.
CAUTION
If ink gets in your eyes, wash it out with
water at once and call a doctor if you are
concerned.
IMPORTANT

not refill the ink cartridges provided with
