the cartridge, then carefully slide the cartridge, label side up,
into the slot.

click into place lightly and feel slight resistance.
5. Hold the cartridge in place as you move the lever to the
Lock position by sliding it in the direction shown.

message. When charging is complete, you can begin
printing again.
