Print cartridges

Four print cartridges can be used with the printer.

1 Black print cartridge
2 Tri-color print cartridge
3 Photo print cartridge
4 Gray photo print cartridge

Note

The availability of print cartridges varies by country/region.

Use print cartridges

The print cartridges can be used in the following ways:

Everyday printing

: Use the black and tri-color print cartridges for everyday print

jobs.

Quality color photos

: For more vibrant colors when printing color photographs or

other special documents, remove the black print cartridge and install a photo print
cartridge. The photo print cartridge, in combination with the tri-color print cartridge,
provides you with virtually grain-free photos.

Quality black and white photos

: For outstanding black and white photographs,

remove the black print cartridge and use a gray photo print cartridge in combination
with the tri-color print cartridge.

Replace print cartridges
