cartridge replacement position, and the power light

begins to flash.

Note: Don’t press the ink button for more than 2 seconds, or

the printer will start to clean the print head.

head by hand.

5. Open the cartridge cover.

6. Pinch the back tab of each cartridge as you lift it out of the

printer. Remove all the cartridges. Store the ink cartridges

in a plastic bag or container, making sure that the tops of

the cartridges are facing up.

Warning: If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with

soap and water. If ink gets in your eyes, flush them immediately

with water.

7. Close the cartridge cover and press the ink button. Wait

until the print head locks in the far right position. (Don’t

worry if the ink light is on.)

8. Press the power button to turn off the printer. Unplug

the power cord from the electrical outlet. Then disconnect

the printer cable from the printer.

9. Secure the ink cartridge holder (print head) to the case with

tape.

Caution: Be sure to remove the tape and reinstall the ink

cartridges immediately after installing the printer in its new

location.

10. Close the printer cover, push in the output tray extension,

then close the output tray.

11. Repack the printer and its attachments in the original box

using the protective materials that came with them.

Keep the printer level as you transport it.

After transporting the printer, remove the tape securing the

print head, reinstall the ink cartridges, and test your printer. If

you notice a decline in print quality, clean the print head; if

output is misaligned, align the print head.
