About the ink cartridges
Ink cartridges store the ink and are connected to the printheads, which distribute the ink on the paper.
To purchase additional cartridges, see
Accessories on page 165.
CAUTION: Observe precautions when handling ink cartridges because they are ESD-sensitive
devices (see the
Glossary on page 215). Avoid touching pins, leads and circuitry.

Remove an ink cartridge
There are two occasions when you need to remove an ink cartridge.
The ink cartridge is very low and you want to replace it with a full cartridge for unattended
printing (you can use up the remaining ink in the first cartridge at a more convenient time).
The ink cartridge is empty or faulty, and you must replace it to continue printing.
CAUTION: Do not try to remove an ink cartridge while printing.
CAUTION: Remove an ink cartridge only if you are ready to insert another one.
CAUTION: Make sure the product wheels are locked (the brake lever is pressed down) to prevent the
product from moving.
NOTE: When a cartridge runs out of ink, the current job is not automatically cancelled: unless you
cancel it manually, it will resume printing when the empty cartridge has been replaced. If there is a
delay in replacing the cartridge, you may see some banding on the print.
