Changing cartridges How do I get the cartridge holders to center so I can install a new cartridge?

Hello JBM,

Please press the cartridge button and the cartridge holder moves to the center. Gently press and pull the front cover toward you. Press the green tab on the front left edge of the BJ Cartridge cartridge holder. This releases the BJ cartridge. Lift the entire cartridge out of the printer. If installing a new BJ cartridge, take it out of its protective packaging. Peel off the protective foil, and lift the cartridge out. Lift off the orange cap from the print head. Then remove the orange tape.

switch on you printer on then open the front cover then the cartridge will be aligned in the center remove the cartridge and take the new cartridge from the box keep the cartridge up right remove the sticker from the cartridge and insert them to the cartridge holder

Usually when you open the cover the cartridge holder should move to the center that will allow you to install the cartridge. If this is not the case you could force it to move by:

1. Opening the cover as if you're installing a new cartridge.
2. Unplug the power cord
3. Lift the cartridge holder enough height to allow you to slide it on to the center
4. After sliding, you should be able to install the new cartridge.
5. After the installation close the cover and power up your printer.
   

Hi

thank you for your query

Make sure the printer is on but not printing. Raise the printer cover, then press down the Maintenance button for six seconds until the print heads move to the center. Pull up the empty ink cartridge clamp all the way. The cartridge rises up from its holder and should be disposed. Unwrap the ink cartridges and remove ONLY the yellow tape seal from the black and color ink cartridge. If you accidently remove anything but the yellow seal you cannot use the cartridge or it will damage the printer. To install the new cartridge, tilt the ink cartridge forward slightly as you lower it into its holder. Hang the tabs at the back of the cartridge on the hooks on the holder clamps. Don't place the cartridge tabs under the hooks on the holder clamp; you may damage the clamp when you close it. Install the ink cartridge and press the Maintenance button to begin charging the ink delivery system. Charging takes about a minute and is complete when the power light stops flashing and the error light goes out

Make sure the printer is on but not printing.

1. lift the printer cover,
2. Press the Maintenance button for about 6 secs - the print heads will now move to the center of the printer.
3. Pull up the clamp all the way for the empty cartridge. The cartridge now lifts up from its holder, remove the cartridge.
4. The New cartiridge ONLY remove the yellow tape seal from the the black and/or the colour cartridge. Note: If you accidently remove anything but the yellow seal you cannot use the cartridge or it will damage the printer.
5. Install the new cartridge, tilt the ink cartridge forward slightly as you lower it into its holder. Hang the tabs at the back of the cartridge on the hooks on the holder clamps. Don't place the cartridge tabs under the hooks on the holder clamp; you may damage the clamp when you close it.
6. Install the ink cartridge and press the Maintenance button this will purge the ink. This takes approx 1min and is complete when the power light stops flashing and the error light goes out.

Just plug in power cord to source (120v/110v/250v/220v) then hold power on until the red light is on. Wait for the nozzle/"cartridge holder" moves to the center. Then that's the time you are going to change new cartridge. Or if you have already connected to the PC, go to printer settings found in the control panel and click printer wizard box.
