Also, this section includes instructions on how to replace ink cartridges and transport the product. Ink cartridge precautions w 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. If you still have discomfort or vision problems, see a doctor immediately. Replacing Ink Cartridges When the B ink light starts flashing, one or more cartridges are low on ink. Make sure you have replacement cartridges. When the B ink light stays on, you need to replace the appropriate cartridges. Tip: If a cartridge is more than six months old, print quality may decline. If necessary, try cleaning the print head (& "Cleaning the print head" on page 20). If printouts still do not look their best, you may need to replace the cartridge. To avoid damaging the product, never move the print head by hand. When an ink cartridge is expended, you cannot continue copying or printing even if the other cartridges still contain ink. Leave the expended cartridge installed until you have obtained a replacement. Otherwise the ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out. An IC chip on each ink cartridge monitors the amount of ink used from the cartridge. Cartridges are usable even if they are removed and reinserted. However, some ink is consumed each time cartridges are inserted because the printer automatically checks their reliability. Ink cartridges with low ink status cannot be used when reinserted. Checking the ink cartridge status You can also check the ink cartridge status when checking the print head (& "Checking the print head" on page 20). [. . . ] If you are printing or copying a photo, make sure you are not enlarging it too much. Align the print head (& "Aligning the Print Head" on page 20). Your printout is blurry or smeared. You see incorrect or missing colors. Make sure the document is placed flat against the document table. If only part of the image is blurred, your original may be wrinkled or warped. [. . . ]
