Troubleshooting
Printer not recognizing new cartridges
Ensure cartridges are seated correctly and fully clicked into place. Remove and reinsert them. Check for any protective tape that may still be attached.
Poor print quality (streaks, missing colors)
Run a print head cleaning cycle via your printer's maintenance menu. If the issue persists after multiple cleanings, the cartridge might be low or faulty; consider replacing it.
Error message regarding ink levels
The printer's software may display an 'estimated' ink level. Even if an error appears, try printing. If printing is genuinely affected, replace the relevant cartridge.
Paper not feeding correctly with included photo paper
Ensure the photo paper is loaded correctly in the paper tray, with the print side facing the correct direction as per your printer's manual. Do not overload the tray.
