Replacing Ink Tanks Compatible Ink Tanks For details on compatible ink tanks, see Ink Tanks. You can replace ink tanks in 4.4 fl oz (130 ml) and 10.1 fl oz (300 ml). Note • Depending on the color, you can also use an ink tank with a different capacity. Precautions When Handling Ink Tanks Take the following precautions when handling ink tanks. Caution • For safety, keep ink tanks out of the reach of children. • If ink is accidentally ingested, contact a physician immediately. Important • There may be ink around the ink holes of an ink tank you removed. Handle the ink tanks carefully during replacement. The ink may stain clothing. • Do not install ink tanks used in this printer in another printer. This will prevent correct ink level detection, which may damage the printer or cause other problems. • We recommend using up an ink tank in the course of printing within six months after breaking the seal. Printing quality may be affected if you use older ink tanks. • Do not leave the printer without ink tanks installed for extended periods (a month or more). Residual ink may become clogged inside the printer and affect printing quality.
