Can't change ink on dell 810. what do I do first? I don't know how to change ink in dell 810,I couldn't see how to take old one out as well and how to put new one please

Open the printer cover with it turned on and connected to your pc. When you open the cover, the printer should bring the ink cartridge carrier to the front and center so you can access cartridges easily. Press or pull the plastic tab next to the ink cartridge that you wish to replace and it will pop it up towards you and out of the carriage. if there is no plastic tab to eject the cartridge, grab a hold of it with your finger and pull upward and out towards you. Don't worry about breaking anything or harming the cartridge. Once you remove the old one, remove the plastic tape tab on the new cartridge before inserting. Then close the printer cover and it should walk you through aligning the print heads on the display. Good luck!

Aligning an Ink Cartridge You may need to align the ink cartridge when characters are not properly formed or are not aligned at the left margin, or when vertical or straight lines appear wavy.
To align the ink cartridge:

1. Load plain paper. For more information, see Loading Paper.

A blue and black alignment page prints.

1. After the alignment page has finished printing, place the page face-down on the scanner glass. Make sure the upper left corner of the front of the page aligns with the arrow on the printer.
   
   

1. Press the Scan button .
   
   

The page is scanned. When the scan is complete, the cartridge is aligned. You may discard the alignment page when the alignment is complete.

>> Dell All-in-One Printer 810 with 2-Year Advanced Exchange

Exercise your right to "exchange" it, if the 2 years has not yet expired.

Otherwise, it might be cheaper to buy a new printer.

1. Buy only genuine Dell replacement cartridges. Dell states their printer cartridges cannot be refilled with ink and that only their cartridges work in the printer.
2. Bring the cartridge carrier of the printer to the center so you can access the ink cartridges. Open the cover of the printer and the carrier slides to the center. Make sure the printer is turned on.
3. Remove the old black ink cartridge to use the color cartridge. If you allow the old black cartridge to remain in the printer, you will get error messages that the ink is low. The printer may also keep reverting back to the black ink as the default color when printing.
4. Open the package of the new color cartridge carefully. Remove any blue packing tape that's on the ink cartridge. Take care not to touch the gold area or you could damage the cartridge. Insert the new color cartridge into the correct slot in the printer, the right side of the cartridge carrier. The ink cartridges aren't interchangeable; they need to be placed in the correct slot.
5. Close the cover on your printer after installing the color cartridge. Run a print test to make sure the color cartridge is installed correctly. Use the Dell Ink Management System to monitor your printer and all-in-one functions. Thanks Thiru

1. Write down the printer name and brand.
2. Remove the empty cartridge and check the writing on it. If it has any bold and big numbers on it, write these down.
3. Go to office supply store and give the clerk your notes.
4. Make sure you get the right one and take it home.
5. Check to be sure your printer is on.
6. Open your printer's lid.
7. Take out the old cartridge and put inside a small ziploc if you want to.
8. Dispose of the old cartridge. Or if possible, have the cartridge recycled.
9. Unpack new cartridge and place inside the printer.
10. Print a test page.
11. Reconfigure printer heads for best quality.

If you have had the cartridge refilld just press the continue rtab on the window

I insert the new ink cartridge still it saying ing is low( its original)

Well, first off ,it's dell's fault, not yours. Even Official Dell cartridges are temperamental at best. The cartridge error you are explaining is common with Dells. They even have what's called a marriage issue, meaning the cartridge will work in only one single printer. However, I'm not sure how to fix it. Sometimes, you can install a new one and the other cartridge you never touched gives you fits, and goofs up. I'd say get a new printer. Dell is increasingly getting more stingy with their ink, and truth be told, I don't think their quality (*lexmark makes dell, so stay away from them too) matches HP or canon. If you want the best cost per page, get a canon that has individual ink cartridges. They are easy to refill, and print a great picture. You pay more $$ up front, but you'll save a ton in the long run

Solution to your issue with the printer
