Tech Tips:

The following inkjet cartridge replacement and troubleshooting tips are taken from various Printer Operations Manuals and apply to brand new cartridges and RecycleUS.com's quality remanufactured cartridges.  We hope you find them helpful.  Your printer operations manual is the best source for answering your questions.

This information is applicable to most Hewlett Packard, Canon and Lexmark inkjet cartridges.  If you are not sure if this information is applicable to your printer email us before attempting them.

It is suggested you print at least one page a week to keep your cartridge fresh.

Inkjet Cartridge Replacement Tips:
1. Remove the empty cartridge from your printer.
2. If applicable, carefully remove the plastic clip from the replacement cartridge.
3. If applicable, carefully remove two pieces of protective tape covering the ink nozzle and maze hole.  NOTE: Two pieces of tape are not always used, if you only see one don't worry.

CAUTION: DO NOT TOUCH THE INK NOZZLE OR COPPER CONTACTS.

4. Carefully install replacement cartridge into the printers cradle.
NOTE: For detailed instructions refer to your printer manual or printer software.

Troubleshooting Tips:
If printer problems occur:
1.  Perform up to three cleaning cycles and a prime cycle, if applicable, using your printer software.

If the cleaning cycles fail to produce quality print it may be necessary to prime the cartridge.

1.  Hold the cartridge (nozzle down) and place on a paper towel moistened with warm water & then on a dry paper towel until the ink begins to siphon.
2.  Remove debris and dried ink from the replacement cartridge nozzle plate with a damp cotton swab. DO NOT wipe the nozzle plate. Use distilled or filtered water only.
3. Re-install the cartridge and perform cleaning cycles as instructed.
