Emptying the waste bin
The waste bin remains locked in place until it needs emptying. There are two conditions when you should empty the waste bin:

  • Front panel displays Empty Waste Bin

  • Before moving the printer: When you prepare the printer for shipment or move the printer a long distance, in which case you must use the Utilities menu.


    Note: Each time you remove the waste bin, be sure to empty it completely.

    Used ink is nontoxic; it can be treated as normal office waste.

Front panel displays "Empty Waste Bin"


Note: The waste bin is locked during normal operation. Do not pull the bin out unless the front panel message is displayed.
  1. Remove the waste bin by sliding it out. You may have to tug gently on the waste bin to remove it.

  2. Empty the contents of the waste bin by gently twisting it while holding it over a trash bin.

  3. Replace the waste bin in the printer.





    Caution: Do not load used ink into the printer. Reusing waste ink ruins the printhead and invalidates the printer warranty.

Before moving the printer

The printer locks the waste bin in place until it needs emptying. However, you can use the Utilities menu to unlock the waste bin so that you can empty it before the front panel message prompts you to do so.

  1. When the printer is on and the Ready message appears in the front panel, access the Utilities menu by pressing the Menu button, then press an arrow button until you see this message:

    Utilities
    <--- ---> Menu

  2. Press the Menu button.

  3. Press an arrow button until you see this message:

    Unlock Waste Bin
    <--- ---> Select

  4. Press the Select button to unlock the waste bin. The front panel displays this message:

    Waste Bin Unlocked

  5. Remove and empty the waste bin (see Front panel displays Empty Waste Bin), then re-insert it into the printer.

  6. Press the button on the front panel until the Ready message appears in the display.

  7. Turn off the printer. Refer to Repacking and moving the printer for information on how to prepare the printer for shipment or a long move.
