Caring for your printer
Completing the cartridge

software by indicating the cartridge change you made in the printer.
Updating the printer software ensures the best print quality and an
updated ink level image in the Control Program.
To complete the cartridge installation:

Use the Control Program to update the printer software.
2
Follow the instructions on the Change Cartridge screen to
install a new standard or high yield cartridge or an old
cartridge.
Make sure the print cartridges are installed correctly. For help,
see “Installing or changing a print cartridge” on page 55.

If you installed a new print cartridge, align the print cartridges
for the best print quality. For help, see “Aligning print
cartridges” on page 57.

If you installed two print cartridges, repeat steps 1 and 2 for
the other print cartridge.
