menu using the control panel.
Warning: The blade is sharp. Be careful when
removing it.

Replacing the Maintenance Tank
The Pro 7890 has one maintenance tank (on the right
side) and the Pro 9890 has two (one on either side).
You need to replace the maintenance tank
(part # C12C890191) when you see MAINTENANCE
TANK FULL on the LCD screen, the icon has an X, and
the printer won’t print.

Insert the new cutter. Make sure the cutter pin goes
into the hole.

If you have the Pro 9890, check the LCD screen to
determine which tank needs to be replaced (left
or right).
Note: The printer will not print if one of the
maintenance tanks is full. On the Pro 9890, the right
tank is used more than the left. To maximize tank life,
you can switch the tanks.

Tighten the screw using a cross-head screwdriver.

Turn off the printer.

Pull out the maintenance tank as shown.

Caution: Do not tip the tank or ink may spill out.

Align the cutter cover, then press it in until it snaps
into place.

10 Press OK to finish the replacement procedure. The
cutter moves back to the home position.

Place the used tank in the plastic bag included with
the new tank and dispose of it carefully.

Insert the new tank.
