Installing and Maintaining your Cartridges

Q Sometimes the print quality deteriorates and I am not sure why?

A Always follow the correct procedure for installing and maintaining your cartridges. If print quality deteriorates with normal use it often means that the print-heads have become blocked. These can be easily cleaned following the procedure shown below. Remember that frequent cleaning is important and will go along way in maintaining both your cartridge and printer.

2. Once cartridge has been installed, perform at least one cleaning cycle.
