Perform the following procedure:
n Press the ink cartridge replacement button until the print head has moved to the change cartridge position
n Lift the lid that holds the cartridge (do NOT remove cartridge) and press down immediately. Then press the ink cartridge replacement button and allow the cartridge to charge the print head. Do NOT switch the printer off until the printer has finished charging.

Cartridge holder won't move when i press button to change ink

Hi, it's not ready for a replacement cartridge yet, the printer is only LOW on ink not OUT of ink. continue to use the printer until the flashing red light remains on solidly, then the head will move to the replace cartridge poswition when you press the button.
