Step 4: Slide the carriage to the right. (fig. 1)

Step 5: On the left inside of the printer you will see a white gear. Turn this clock wise until it clicks. (fig. 2)

Step 6: Slide the carriage over to the left and line up the cartridge you wish to remove to the eject bay.

Step 7: Press on the blue button to eject the cartridge.

Step 8: Insert your replacement cartridge.

Step 9: Slide the cradle all the way to the right into the locked position.
