Printer cartridge installation
Cartridge not recognised

Resolution 1

  • Check the cartridges are installed in the correct positions.

Resolution 2

  • Remove each cartridge, wipe the chip with a dry cloth and re-install them by pushing down until they "click" into place.
Some Ink left Reading as empty
  • It is possible that a very small amount of ink may be visible when it reads as empty.
  • This is due to the design of these cartridges and is not a fault.
Printer cartridge installation
Ink in the cartridge, but not printing
  • The cartridge may show as empty or produce faded print despite ink remaining.
  • Printing stops once the cartridge reaches around 30% remaining ink, which is kept as a reserve.
  • This reserve cannot be accessed and is used to keep the internal sponge moist and protect the printhead.
  • This is normal behaviour and not a fault.
  • The cartridge will need to be replaced.
Printing blank pages / fading on print
  • If the print quality is poor or no ink is appearing on the paper, try performing 2–3 head cleans/nozzle cleans.
  • Leave 20 minutes between each cleaning cycle.
  • If the issue persists, switch off the printer and unplug it for 10 minutes.
  • Re-install the cartridge and try printing again.
