Troubleshooting

Printer not recognizing the cartridge

Ensure the cartridge is properly seated. Remove and reinsert it. Check for any protective seals or tape that may still be attached. Clean the electrical contacts on both the cartridge and the printer with a dry, lint-free cloth.

Print quality is poor (streaks, missing text)

Run a printer head cleaning utility through your printer's software. If the issue persists, the cartridge may be low on ink or defective. Check ink levels and consider replacing the cartridge.
