Installing the print cartridges
Step one: Install the print cartridges
Turn on the printer, open the top cover, and lift the print latch.
| CAUTION:
|
The print cartridge carriage may be moving into its correct position. Be sure
the print cartridge carriage is parked at the right-hand side of the printer before removing
or installing print cartridges. |

If you are installing a new print cartridge, remove the print cartridge from its package, and
then remove the clear nozzle protective tape by pulling on the pink pull-tab.
| CAUTION:
|
To prevent clogs, ink failure, and bad electrical connections, do not touch the
print cartridge ink nozzles or copper contacts, and do not remove the copper contacts. |
Raise the top cover of the printer, then wait until the print cartridge cradle is idle and silent. Be sure
the print cartridge carriage is parked at the right-hand side of the printer before installing print cartridges.
Figure 2: Removing the protective tape
Hold the print cartridge with the copper contacts facing the printer, and then slide the print
cartridge into the cradle.
|
NOTE:
|
Depending on the cartridge size, they may not align with each other.If you have trouble inserting the print cartridge after lifting the carriage latch, verify the
printer is on and wait a few seconds for the carriage to disengage before inserting the
print cartridge. |
Figure 3: Inserting cartridges
Push down on the print cartridge latch until it snaps closed. Make sure the latch does not spring
back open.
|
NOTE:
|
If you are installing a new print cartridge, the printer will automatically align the
print cartridges and use one sheet of paper to print an alignment page. If you have higher quality
photo media loaded in the input tray, you may want to load a sheet of plain paper
before installing the new print cartridge. |

Open the Toolbox from the Printer Properties
settings or open the printer driver.
Click the Printer Services
tab (Toolbox) or Services tab
(printer driver).
Click Align Print Cartridges
and follow the onscreen instructions.
|
NOTE:
|
The printer automatically aligns print cartridges whenever a new print cartridge is installed. However,
if your printout is grainy, has stray dots, or jagged edges, you can realign the print cartridges. |
