2. Press the lock release lever as shown to release the cartridge color indicated on the machine's display. Remove the cartridge from the machine.
    
   
   
3. Open the new ink cartridge bag for the color indicated on the machine's display, and then take out the ink cartridge.
    
4. Turn the green release lever on the orange protective packing (1) counterclockwise until it clicks to release the vacuum seal. Then remove the orange protective packing as shown.
   *Some cartridges are not attached the orange protective packing.
    
   

    

   Do not touch the cartridge in the area indicated (2); this can prevent the machine from detecting the cartridge.
