  • The ink carriage (where cartridges are held) should move to the center.
  • Don’t force it—wait until it stops moving before touching anything.

3. Remove the Old Cartridge

  • Press the release tab or gently pull the cartridge upward (depends on model).
  • Remove the empty cartridge.

4. Unpack the New Cartridge

  • Take it out of the box and remove all protective materials:
    • Plastic tape over the nozzle (important!)
    • Avoid touching the gold contacts or nozzles.

5. Install the New Cartridge

  • Insert it into the correct slot (color-coded in many printers).
  • Push down or snap it in place until it clicks.

6. Close the Printer Cover

  • The printer will usually auto-align or run a short cleaning cycle.
  • Follow any prompts on the screen or software.

7. Print a Test Page (Optional)

  • To ensure it’s working, go to your printer settings and run a test print or alignment.
