If you are replacing a print cartridge
, hold the top of the installed print cartridge and
slide it out of its cradle. Check the number on the latch against the number on the new
print cartridge to make sure you are removing the correct print cartridge.
If you are installing a new print cartridge
, remove the print cartridge from its package,
and then remove the plastic tape with the pink tab from the print cartridge.
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.
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.

If you installed a new print cartridge, the printer aligns the print cartridges and prints an
alignment page. If no alignment page prints, make sure there is paper in the input tray.
Do not open the top cover when the printer is aligning the print cartridges.
