- 1). Power on the printer and open the lid or hatch covering the ink cartridges. Gently pull upward and outward to remove the old cartridges.
- 2). Remove the packaging and the clear strip over the new ink cartridges that is covering the copper contacts. Avoid touching the contacts with skin or clothing.
- 3). Insert the new cartridges in the correct slots. Most printers have one color cartridge and one black cartridge, but many also have multiple color cartridges. Push gently down and towards the printer until the cartridges snap into place.
- 4). Shut the lid or hatch and the printer will clean the cartridges. It may also prompt you to align the cartridges either on the built-in display on your computer. Follow the instructions to align the cartridges.
- 5). Consult your documentation or the support site for your printer model if you are not prompted to align the new cartridges and you can't find the printer maintenance functions. Every manufacturer and model is different. (See resources for support sites of popular manufacturers.)
