How do I replace the maintenance box?

• Make sure you have a new maintenance box before you begin.

  Caution:
  Do not reuse a maintenance box that has been removed and left uninstalled for more than a week. Keep the maintenance box away from direct sunlight.

  Note: You cannot print or clean the print head while the maintenance box is full, but you can perform tasks that do not require ink, such as scanning.

  1. Make sure the product is not printing.
