Ink-Jet Printer Support
To install your cartridge remove clip or cap from base of ink cartridge (if applicable).
Insert cartridge into printer; ensure cartridge firmly locks into place.
Press OK, Yes, Close, etc. to bypass any nuisance or scare messages that appear.
NOTE: You may experience “alerts” when using refilled cartridges. These nuisance messages are simply deterrents created by manufacturers and should be bypassed by pressing “OK”, “proceed”, “continue”, “accept”, etc. Stop the process if an “Unrecognized Cartridge”, “Cartridge Error”, “Incompatible Cartridge” or “Replace Cartridge” message appears (return the cartridge to the Printer Refillers for evaluation). See table below.
Additional Recommendations:
• Refill a cartridge shortly after you notice print quality starting to degrade. Keep a spare set of cartridges for convenience.
• Protect your cartridges when transporting them to Printer Refillers for refilling. Reuse the refill clips or place up to 3 cartridges in an zip top bag. Avoid touching or rubbing the print head against objects.
