Printer cartridge installation
Cartridge missing or damaged
  • Remove the faulty cartridge from the printer.
  • Make sure all the packaging clips and tape covering the breathing hole have been removed. Take care not to squeeze the sides during this as some ink may spill.
  • Pull the power cable out the back of the printer and leave the printer off for 15 minutes.

  2. Wait until the low/empty ink error message appears.
  3. With the error message on screen, hold down the cancel button (or power/start button depending on the error message) for 5 seconds (add 5 seconds if it doesn't work).

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.
