 Make sure the replacement ink cartridge is of the correct color and has not expired. Colored inks
expire one year from their manufacturing date, white ink in six months from the indicated
manufacturing date. The manufacturing date is found on the cartridge. Do not use expired inks
since they can clog the Ink Delivery System and may produce incorrect and less vibrant colors.
The Ricoh authorized Cleaning Solution cartridges expire three years from the manufacturing
date.
 Gently shake the Ricoh authorized ink cartridge a few times to assure that the pigment is in
solution. Note that Cleaning Solution cartridges should not be shaken as it may cause foaming.
 Hold the cartridge with the proper orientation, noting the “This Side Up” warning on the
cartridge label and the arrow pointing in the direction of installation. (Figure 9.4-6) Carefully
insert it into the proper Ink Cartridge Bay slot. Push it in all the way. When the ink cartridge is
properly installed, the LCD control panel will read “GOOD.”
 Discard the used cartridges per your local regulations. Never dismantle, tinker with or attempt to
refill the used ink cartridges. Refilled ink cartridges can clog the Ink Delivery System and Print
heads and possibly void your warranty.
 If you need to store partially used ink cartridges place them vertically with the outlet valve
upward.
