Changing your Canon Inkjet printer cartridge
Replacing a Bubble Jet cartridge:
- Open the printer's front cover.
- Unlock the Bubble Jet cartridge by raising the cartridge lock lever (this may be blue or grey depending on your model). Make sure you raise it all the way up.
- Remove the Bubble Jet cartridge by holding it by the circles on the left and right sides.
- Make sure that the orange protective cap has been removed.
- Make sure that the protective tape has also been removed.
- Replace the Bubble Jet cartridge and move the blue or grey cartridge lock lever until it locks in place. Be careful to not force and break the lever, if it appears to not lock easily make sure the cartridge is seated properly and the protective cap has been removed.
Replacing a Bubble Jet ink tank:
Leave the printhead in the printer when replacing a Bubble Jet tank. Make sure the printer's power is on. Make sure you insert the Bubble Jet tank in the correct slot.
- Open the front cover. The power light blinks while the cartridge holder is positioned to the centre of the printer.
- Remove the empty Bubble Jet tank by pressing in on the release tab and then lifting the tank up and out of its slot.
- Dispose of the tank properly, taking care to avoid spilling ink on your hands, floor, furniture, or clothing.
- Remove the new Bubble Jet tank from its package and pull the orange tape up and against the perforations to open the package film. Be careful not to remove the label from the tank. You will need it to match the tank to the correct slot in the Bubble Jet cartridge.
- Twist the orange protective cap to remove it. Do not attempt to reattach the protective cap; instead, discard it along with the protective tape.
- Insert the Bubble Jet tank by holding it at a slight angle, aligning it with the correct slot. Press down on the top of the tank until it locks into place.
- Lock the ink tank in place by pressing down on the circle mark on the top of the tank where it states 'Push' until you hear a "click".
- Close the printer cover. The printer will automatically start cleaning the printheads. When the printheads are clean, the POWER light will remain steady, indicating that the printer is ready for operation.
- Perform another test print to make sure the new ink tanks are performing correctly.
