How do I properly install my ink cartridges?

Follow these instructions to properly install your ink cartridges:

  • Your ink cartridges will last longer if you do not remove your cartridge from the protective wrapping until it's ready for use.
  • The ink cartridge should be placed upright for at least 30 minutes prior to use; this will allow the ink to flow down to the print head and allow any oxygen bubbles to rise up and away from the print head.
  • Be sure you've removed the plastic strip from the ink cartridge.
  • Install the print cartridge(s).
  • Run the head cleaning cycle at least one time.
  • Print a test page to make sure the print cartridge(s) are installed and functioning properly.
