Preparatory steps and installation of a new

cartridge How to install the Canon cartridge? It's pretty simple. First you need to prepare a little and pay attention to the following tips:

• You need to acquire a component that is identical to the old one. If you do not want to overpay for a label, you can purchase a replica compatible with your printer.
• You only need to print a new cartridge before you install it. If the leakproofness of the packaging has been compromised, avoid touching the contacts and the photoconductor.
• Toner may wake up from the gadget, so do not forget to keep it clean.
• Carefully get rid of the packaging, do not tear or pull it. You just need to pull the "tongue" in the right direction and remove the tape from the device's contacts.
• Some experts recommend gently rotating the cartridge horizontally. Such measures will help to keep the toner inside the container evenly.
• Be careful when installing a new accessory. The gadget is enough to insert into special grooves, avoiding unnecessary efforts.
• If the process is "tight", then carefully remove the component and repeat the previous step.
• To verify the operation after installation, simply print a test page.

Installing a cartridge in a Canon printer does not seem so complicated anymore, right? Then let's talk about some of the nuances.

Nuances

The replacement process in laser and inkjet printers is almost identical, but there are also differences. Most modern devices that use inkjet ink technology allow the replacement of individual ink tanks. The cover is removed on the back or top of the unit. Some models have the "Ink replacement" function, which only simplifies the process.

The inkjet printer will automatically lead the print head of the cartridge to the access zone. In the color devices of the tanks will be several, each of which can be replaced separately. The same Canon can have two tanks of different types, then the replacement will have to be made strictly in accordance with the type of capacity. Each "vessel" is fixed with a special latch, so that the extraction process is carried out by lightly pressing it and lifting it upwards.

Important! Install the new cartridge until the lock is clicked.

Again, overdoing the effort, you can feel unpleasant consequences that will significantly affect the operation of the printer.

Here the whole procedure will look a little more complicated. Difficulties are caused by the configuration of the printing device. For convenience, it is necessary to remove the entire print head from the housing, and to measure the tanks already outside the housing of the device. There is this action with the help of pressing from top to bottom, without forgetting about the latch. The installation of a new component is considered complete if you hear the click of a clip.

As you can see, there are no special wisdoms and technical difficulties in replacing the cartridge in the Canon printer. You just need to have an understanding of its device and perform everything extremely accurately, then there will be no problems with further operation of the equipment. Good luck!
