TO PUT IN INK AND USE FAX

check if the noozles are on the catridges or on the independent print head. if the print head is seperate from catridges, them try print head cleaning. if you it cant work. then dip the print head in hot water for 5 to 10 seconds. dont dry it just put it back into the printer and try again immedeately. let me know if your problem is fixed

A manual for your fax is available here, and will show you how to set your fax to monochrome mode.

New cartridge wouldnt print but sounded like it was printing. You can check ink levels clean or align cartridge by pushing menu then tools. I cleaned contact points w qtip and alcohol. What seemed to work is putting alcohol on cartridge where ink is released and putting back into machine wet did this three times first time little dots of ink then a faint print and now it is printing must have been dried ink further then I could access.

I'm afraid so. The color mixing process uses all of the inks all of the time.

You cannot have just black ink.

If it was working before you changed the cart make sure you removed any sealing tape on the new one. If you have then you likely have a bad cart.

Try checking under maintenance or ink settings, sometimes if the cartridges have been refilled they are not reset correctly and the ink level checking fails to work. There is sometimes and option to ignore these for refilled or compatible cartridges.

Control Panel
--> Printers and Faxes
--> Right Click on the Printer ICON and select Properties
--> Look for a "Maintenance" or "Tools" Tab across the top click one
--> Look for an option for "In" or "Ink Settings"
and click on one of these options to run

If you cannot find that then Try going into Control Panel
--> Printers and Faxes
--> Right Clicking on your printer
--> Look for a "Maintenance" or "Tools" Tab across the top click one
--> Look for an option for "Cleaning" or "Deep Cleaning"

You need a toner cartridge which includes the drum. Go to a store like Staples, they will have what you need.

please read rethedge solution posted for them. Try these things and post back if no good.

I had a bit of a job putting the ink cardtridge in but it needs to pushed in a downwards action, I was trying to push it slightly upwards

turn fax machine off open cover and put 3 drops of 3 in 1 oil on the the big silver bar the ink cartridges ride along perform alignment and try to recieve fax if this doesnt work clean all the rubber feed rollers with isopropanol alcohol (rubbing alcohol) applied to a microfiber towel then try.
