I am trying to change my ink, when I open the scanner the cartidge do not come to the middle so I can change it what can I do to correct this problem.

turn off open cartridge unit and try to pull the whole print head. some units you can move only when off. if too hard then its locked. make sure cartridges are set correctly in place if it has a lid make sure its closed( for printer head not printer)

On this particular printer there is no locking mechanism to access the ink cartridges. In order to open the cover, use a single open hand and place your fingers just underneath the screen on the front, and pull upward. The entire scanner piece should raise and a plastic bar on the right-hand side will lower down to prop it open.

If you're having a lot of trouble opening it, you may want to check around the sides of the printer to see if there is any tape leftover from when the printer was packed in its original box. When they ship a printer it is always covered in tape to make sure that nothing falls open or breaks before it's delivered, and there may be a piece of clear (almost invisible!) tape left over preventing the printer from opening.

Once it's open, the ink cartridges should come to the middle. Press down on the small lever on the print head (the ink cartridge holder) to pop the cover open so that you can install the cartridge.

Hope this is helpful!

Here's how you change the ink cartridge:

1. press the index sheet button and the scan button at the same time,

2. You then get setup menu. use" >" to select "change ink cartidge".

3. The ink cartidge will move to the opening position. 4. Lift the grey plastic clip at the back, and it
will open towards you.

5. Then you can just pull it out.


Hope this helps

Gradually pull the cartridge carrier towards the midlle when the printer is off. then you can change the inks.

Perhaps try accessing the menu using the press the index sheet button and the scan button at the same time, you then get setup menu. use" >" to select "change ink cartidge". the ink cartidge carriage will move to the opening position. lift the grey plastic clip at the back, and it will open towards you. then pull out the ink by holding with thumb and first finger and rotating towards you. insert the ink again by pushing in and rotating away from you. close grey cover. now confirm ink replaced as per screen prompt. the machine will run the ink to the print head, takes a minute. then turn off and on and it 'should' work.

just raise the top lid and the cartridges will come to the center and stop

After you opened the front panel, did you lift the scanner section? The scanner section has a switch on it that activates the ink tank holders to come out to the middle so they can be changed. It is not the greatest design and it doesn't stay up by itself. I normally use an old cartridge to prop up the scanner section while I change cartridges. Hope this helps!

When turning on the power, the Carriage
Unit collides to the Change Lever
located to the front side of the printer. CAUSE
PF Motor
Ink System
CR Scale
CR Encoder Board
Holder Shaft Unit
OR IT S SAMPLE JUST WHEN YOU OPEN THE SCANNER TRY TO MOVE THE CARRIAGE BY THE GEAR OR SOME PAPER JAME IT DO THIS PROBLEM.

Clean the heads, the printer is not reading cartidges. Is yours a model that needs the ink levels reset to funtion correctly, then do this too.
