Troubleshooting

Printer not recognizing the ink cartridge.

Ensure the cartridge is correctly seated. Remove and reinsert it, making sure it clicks. Check if the protective tape or clips have been fully removed. Restart the printer.

Print quality is poor or streaky.

Perform a print head cleaning cycle via your printer's maintenance menu. Check the page yield; if it's near empty, replacement is needed. Ensure the correct cartridge type is installed.
