Installing an Ink Cartridge for the First Time Follow these ink cartridge precautions and the others on pages 7 through 10 of the Printer Basics book: ❏ Install both ink cartridges, and leave them installed for all types of printing, or the printer won’t work. ❏ Remove the yellow tape seal from the top of the ink cartridges or you’ll permanently damage them.

Cleaning the Print Head Hang the tabs at the back of the cartridge on the hooks on the holder clamps. If your printed image is unexpectedly light or faint, or dots are missing from the image, you may need to clean the print head. This unclogs the nozzles so they can deliver ink properly. Cleaning the print head uses ink, so clean it only if print quality declines.

You can also turn the printer off and wait overnight—this allows any dried ink to soften—and then try cleaning the print head again. Examining the Nozzle Check Pattern Examine the nozzle check pattern you print.
