Printer cartridge installation
Cartridge not compatible / Cartridge not recognised
  • The compatible cartridge has been installed correctly but the printer is not registering it as installed or states it is not compatible.
  • Remove the affected cartridge/cartridges from the printer.
  • Turn the printer off and wait for 2 minutes.
  • Turn your printer back on and wait for a further 2 minutes.
  • Once the printer warns that certain cartridge/cartridges are missing, re-install them one at a time.
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.
Printing blank pages
  • The tape covering the breathing hole may not have been removed.
  • Ensure the breathing hole on the cartridge is open by removing the small rip strip.
  • This allows air to flow properly and enables the cartridge to print.
