Turn the printer on and open the front cover (C).
The paper output tray (D) opens.
Remove any paper in the cassette.
Open the paper output cover.
The cartridge holder (E) moves to the replacement position. Don't touch the cartridge holder until it stops.
If the paper output cover is left open for more than 10 minutes, the cartridge holder may move and the lamp may light. If this happens, close, then reopen the paper output cover.
Push down on the cartridge until it clicks.
- Remove the cartridge.
- Take the new cartridge out of its package and gently remove the protective tape (F).
- Insert the new cartridge at a slant into the cartridge holder. The color cartridge goes on the left and the black on the right. Insert the cartridge carefully so it doesn't touch the electrical contacts on the cartridge holder.
- Push the cartridge in and up firmly until it snaps into place.
- Check to be sure the cartridge is installed correctly. It should line up evenly with the other cartridge.
The printer can't print unless both the color and black cartridge are installed. Be sure to install both cartridges.
Close the paper output cover.
About ink cartridges
For best print quality, use new Canon brand cartridges (refills may clog the nozzles and won't alert you when it's time to replace the ink).
Replace cartridges right after you remove them. Don't leave the machine with cartridges missing.
Use cartridges within six months of the first use.
