See Replacing an Ink Tank If ink tank replacement does not resolve the problem, the print head may be worn out.
Replacing an Ink Tank When replacing an ink tank, check the model number very carefully. The printer will not print properly if the wrong ink tank is used, or installed in the incorrect position. With this printer, ink tanks must be installed from the right in the order indicated below.
Replacing an Ink Tank When an ink tank runs out of ink, replace it using the following steps. 1 Ensure that the printer is on, and then open the front cover. The print head holder moves to the center. 2 Remove the empty ink tank. Pull the tab on the ink tank towards you to release. (1) color (2) black Then lift it from its slot.

4 Insert the ink tank. (1) Insert the ink tank into a slot. (2) Press on the tab until the ink tank snaps firmly into place. 5 Close the front cover. The print head holder moves to the right. Note To maintain optimal print quality, use an ink tank within six months of 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.
Resetting the Ink Counter When an ink tank is replaced, the ink counter must be reset. The low ink warning is displayed properly only if the ink counter is reset. Message Prompting Confirmation of Ink Tank Replacement When the front cover remains open for a certain period of time, the printer will output a message prompting you to confirm replacement of the ink tank at the start of the next print job. 1 Check the message, and click Yes or OK.

Select the newly installed ink tank, then click OK. When using a Macintosh: 1. Open the Page Setup dialog box. 2. Click Utilities and select Remaining Ink Level Setting. 3. Click Ink Counter Reset. 4. Select the newly installed ink tank, then click OK.
How Low Ink Warning Setting Works The low ink warning notifies you of low ink levels during printing. The Low Ink Warning has been preset to be automatically displayed. When you reset the ink counter, it will assume the ink tank is full regardless of how much ink actually remains. The reset is the only way to match the counter value with an actual ink volume. Reset the ink counter when installing a new ink tank. Low Ink Warning Display The '!' shows a low ink level in the ink tank.
Note When background printing is on, the BJ Print Monitor will display a low ink warning. See BJ Print Monitor How to Display Low Ink Warning Correctly Reset the ink counter every time you install a new ink tank. The ink counter cannot work correctly unless you synchronize it with the actual ink level. The ink counter can be reset only when a new ink tank is installed. Do not reset the ink counter of an ink tank in use. Synchronization of the counter and the actual ink level will not work properly.
