On the menu screen choose Setup, then choose Ink Levels and then Cartridge Replacement.

Changing the ink is very easy... First keep the printer plugged in and ON (the ink cartridge will slide down to the opening for easy access). Then place hand under, yes under the front of the printer (in space just above the area where the final print comes out). You may have to bend or scoot down to see a latched (spring) door at back, place finger in and pull downward (cartridges will come to the centre). Place thumb/index finger on raised tab on the front of cartridge case and gently pull upwards and outwards (to you). Hope this helps.

Yes, it's really easy. The ink compartment is on the front, right hand side of the printer. You can just pop open the compartment and insert the ink cartridge into the appropriate slot (they have color-coded tabs). You can hear the cartidge click into place when it's locked. When you want to change out an empty ink cartridge for a new one, simply press the appropriate color-coded tab and the cartridge will be unlocked, and you can pull it out and insert a new one. You can buy the ink cartridges separately; I think my printer came with some ink cartridges when i bought it.

If you press the home key for the menu, press an arrow until the tools are selected. Continue through the menu, select maintenance, select change ink cartridge. press okay.

Had the same problem. Be patient. Remove the cartridges and re-install the cartridges making sure to seat them fully.

Hello. Although I have always replaced the cartridge when the printer indicates a cartridge is empty, I think you need to have some ink in each of the cartridges for the printer to work. There is, however, a warning message that pops up quite a while before a cartridge will be empty, giving the user plenty of time to have one in reserve. You do not need to replace all the colored cartridges, just the empty one.

Rob it won't work, once the cartridge is empty the printer will not print. so it's best to buy a new cartridge.

I purchased this printer in February of this year. I do a fair amount of printing and have yet to have the need to change the cartridge. I am very pleased with my purchase thus far. Good luck!

Before panicking, I would unplug the printer for 30 seconds after shutting it down, and do a reboot with the new cartridge in. If that doesn't work you can try it with the old cartridge in and then change cartridges after the reboot. I'm figuring you probably have this resolved by now, so can you tell us what ended up happening? Thanks.

You did not provide the printer model.Now, did you try to replace the cartridges with ORIGINAL ones? Even empty ones will do, just to test if they are recognized by the printer.(ONE cartridge will suffice for this test.)If the printer will recognize such a cartridge (even an error msg. will serve as 'Recognize'), you know what I already know: never look at this vendor and his products again...

The unit that fits inside your printer should have a reset button on the front...mine is white and square. After you click this, go to your program and click on the button that sets up the new cartiage....mine works after I do this.In fact, before my ink runs down a little bit, the printer program wants to say it is empty and all I do is reset it and reset the printer. These programs are assigned, I think to recognize using x amount of ink even when it is not empty. Even the cartiages you use, it says they are empty when in fact there is 20% ink still available. Stupid companies! The unit that fits inside your printer should have a reset button on the front...mine is white and square.

Hi. Please take the cartridges out, then please turn off printer and then wait 20 seconds. Then turn on printer and don't put in cartridges yet. Wait until the printer starts up. And when it prompts for the cartridges. Please make sure you remove the orange piece from the new cartridges, then please put them in, and make sure they click in, it might need the extra push to get them in, if a message pops up that they are not original, please just acknowledge the messages and click ok. and do 2 test prints. This should work. Please let me know. Thank you

I just tried taking out the cartridge to print a photo and the printer doesn't appear to work without a cartridge in the slot. So I don't think it will work without the cartridge.

I suppose you have to buy new cartridges. I hope you like your printer better than I like mine. Mine sounds like a truck starting up when I use it.

if your cartridges are refillable, you can refill them with bulk inks. you will need to get a reset chip--you can check at refillbay.com to see if your printer type is listed for use with the chip. very easy to do
