Step 1
Before installing the cartridge into the printer, tear off the "Please Tear Here" portion from the label on the cartridge. DO NOT REMOVE THE WHOLE LABEL as this may cause leakage.
Step 2
Lift the clamp on the cartridge holder in the printer, remove the empty cartridge and insert the new cartridge properly.
Step 3
Close the clamp until it snaps into place with a solid "click". This indicates that the rubber seal on the cartridge has been punctured.

Step 4
Immediately run the printer through a cleaning cycle. (Refer to the printer manual - Cleaning the Print Head). This enables the ink to be flushed from the cartridge to the print head.
Step 5
When an ink cartridge has been newly installed, you must allow the printer to finish its charging cycle (this takes place automatically in the printer immediately after you install the ink cartridge). This charging cycle is for the ink from the cartridge to be fully flushed to the print head in the printer. If this is not done, white streaks or blank printing occurs. When this happens, perform the cleaning cycle a few times to pump the ink through to the print head (Refer to manual - Cleaning the Print Head). |
