Problem: Error (Cartridge missing or damaged)
The printer is reporting the error (Cartridge missing or damaged)
Resolution
- Remove the faulty cartridge from the printer
- Make sure all the packaging clips and blue tape covering the copper part of the cartridge has been removed from the cartridge + clean the contacts with a dry cloth / tissue
- Pull the power cable out the back of the printer and leave the printer off for 15 minutes
Problem: Printing blank pages / fading on print
Printouts are coming out very faded or blank
Resolution
- If the print quality is poor or no ink is appearing on the paper then try doing 2-3 head cleans/nozzle cleans
- Leave 20 minutes between each clean
Problem: Printing stopped
The ink cartridge printed one or two pages and then stopped printing.
Resolution
- It could be that the tape that covers the breathing hole has not been removed
- Be sure the breathing hole on the cartridge has been released usually by removing a small “rip strip” so that the cartridge has air supply then it can print.
Problem: Cartridge is the wrong size
The cartridges are physically a different size or shape.
Resolution
Compatible cartridges will always look different to the original branded cartridges
They will often differ in shape or size but this does not affect the fitting or functionally of the cartridges in any way at all
