Do not touch the ink nozzles or the
copper-colored contacts, and do not re-
tape the cartridges.
Inserting the cartridges
1. If you are replacing a Black or
Photo cartridge, push down and pull
outward on the cartridge in the right
stall to remove it.
2. Hold the new Black or Photo
cartridge with the label on top. Slide
the cartridge at a slight upward
angle into the right stall so the
copper-colored contacts go in first.
Push the cartridge until it snaps into
place.
Caution To avoid print carriage
jams, make sure the print cartridge
snaps securely into place as you
insert it.
3. Repeat the previous step to install
the Tri-color cartridge in the left stall.
4. Lower the top cover.
You must install both cartridges in order
for the printer to work normally.
Tip Ink-backup Printing Mode lets you
keep printing even if one of the
cartridges fails or runs out of ink.
Remove the cartridge and close the top
cover to enter Ink-backup Printing Mode.
The printer continues to print, but at a
slower speed and with inferior print
quality. Replace the empty cartridge as
soon as possible.
