Replacing an Ink Tank
When ink runs out, replace the ink tank. The machine will not print if the wrong type of ink tank is
used, or if it is installed in the incorrect position.
The machine uses the following ink tanks.
Black: CLI-8BK
Black: PGI-5BK
Yellow: CLI-8Y
Note
Getting the Ink Level Information
You can check the ink tank status by the ink tank lamp display. Open the Scanning Unit (Printer
Cover) of the machine and check the ink tank lamp.
When the ink level is low:
The ink tank lamp flashes slowly (about three seconds). Prepare a new ink tank.
When ink has run out:
The ink tank lamp flashes fast (about one second). Replace it with a new ink tank.
If an error message is displayed on the LCD, an ink tank error has occurred and the machine cannot
continue to print. See
Chapter 11
