Checking Ink Levels and Replacing Ink Cartridges Before you begin a large print job, you should check your ink levels. If one of your cartridges is low, you can replace it before you start. Or you can wait until the ink runs out, replace the cartridge, and then continue the job without any loss of print quality. When one of the indicators shows empty and INK OUT is displayed on the LCD panel, the cartridge is empty. To replace the cartridge, first make sure the printer is on.
