Now computers and peripherals are so common in everyday life that we can no longer imagine performing many tasks without their participation. Undoubtedly, the problem of consumables in the printer is quite urgent, since often the operation of the device requires urgent execution. If you frequently work with your printer, it is helpful to learn how to install refillable cartridges. Unfortunately, there is no universal instruction, in any case, you will have to be guided by the conditions of the features of your particular model.
Necessary
- - screwdriver;
- - stationery knife;
- - syringe with a needle;
- - soldering iron.
Instructions
Step 1
Use a utility knife or other sharp, flat object to remove the chip from the original cartridge. Carefully cut off the two stickers holding the chip and remove it. Then install another refillable cartridge in the seat and refill it already there.
Step 2
Using a soldering iron or a heated screwdriver, attach the chip to the cartridge by soldering the plastic holders.
Step 3
Place the cartridge on the refill pad, open the refill compartment and use a syringe to fill it with ink. In this case, it is better to use a syringe with a needle, since without it you risk spoiling the result of the work with excessive pressure, creating a vacuum. Tilt the cartridge as it fills, allowing the ink to be absorbed evenly into the sponge. Never fill it completely, limit it to 80-90%.
Step 4
Before installing the cartridges in the printer, remove the protective stickers from the cartridges to expose the air holes.
Step 5
After you have installed the refilled cartridges, do a few test runs of the sheet. It is also recommended to perform head cleaning using the printer driver. Since the chips have been rearranged from the original cartridges, the ink levels will be reduced by the usual arithmetic calculation. Perhaps the system will give you messages about an empty ink tank, about a deterioration in print quality - it all depends on the model, just click the "Yes" button in the dialog box.
Step 6
Remember to replenish the cartridges regularly and in a timely manner to maintain the condition of the printhead, as they tend to dry out. Installing refillable cartridges assumes a disabled supply meter below it, so take care of this side of the problem in advance.
