Replace the cartridges
Follow these steps to replace the cartridges.
Step 1: Load paper into the input tray
When you install a new cartridge, the printer automatically completes a cartridge alignment.
Before you begin the alignment process, make sure that paper is loaded in the printer's input tray.
1. Lift the output tray.
Figure : Lift the output tray
2. Grasp under the handle of the input tray, and then pull out the tray.
note:
When you pull out the input tray, one or all of the Paper Size Selection lights
might blink. If you are changing the paper size, press the Paper Size Selection
button ( ). Continue to press the button until the light displays next to your
desired size.

3. Slide out the paper width guides as far as possible.
4. Insert a small stack of plain white paper into the tray. Make sure that the print side is
face-down and the short edge is forward.

5. Make sure that the stack of paper is not higher than the dotted lines on the side of the
input tray.

paper.

the carriage is idle and silent before you continue.

4. Remove a cartridge from its package, and then pull the orange pull-tab straight back.
caution:
Make sure that you remove the orange pull-tab and plastic wrap completely
before you remove the orange cap in the next step. Otherwise, ink might leak
from the cartridge. When you remove the plastic wrap, the paper label on the top
of the cartridge tears slightly, which is necessary to properly vent the cartridge.

5. Hold the cartridge by its sides, and then twist the protective orange cap counter-clockwise
to snap it off the cartridge.

You might need to apply some force to move the cap.

color with the color dot on the carriage.

into place.

protruding. If you feel any cartridges that are not level, press down firmly until each
cartridge snaps into place.
