1.3.4 Replacing ink tanks
Replace the ink tank as follows. 1) Ink tank replacement criteria Replace the ink tank in any of the following cases: "ink-out" detection indicates that the ink tank has run out of ink, or when cleaning does not improve print quality. (Generally, the ink tank should be replaced about six months after it is removed from its package.) 2) Removing the ink tank Press the BJ cartridge REPLACE button to move the carriage to the BJ cartridge replacement position (left edge of printer). As shown in Figure 3-10 Replacing Ink Tanks, lift up the section marked with the arrow at the front of the ink tank, and remove the ink tank from the BJ cartridge. Ink adheres to and around the ink tank�s ink outlet, so handle the ink tank carefully. 3) Installing the ink tank Take out the ink tank from its box and open the package. Remove the ink outlet's protective cap as shown in Figure 3-11 How to Remove the Ink Tank Protective Cap, and install the ink tank in the printer by following the removal procedure in reverse.
