How to Install CANON PG-260 Ink Cartridges Easily?
Congratulations on the new CANON PG-260 ink cartridges for your Canon printer. A proper installation is important because the printing is affected if the cartridges are loose or improperly installed. This all-inclusive guide will teach you all of the little tricks you need in the step-by-step guide to installing your CANON PG-260 ink cartridges in the easiest way possible, ensuring that you’ll be printing with limited downtime.
Step 1: Get the Printer Ready for the Ink Cartridges
- Preparation Prior to Installing the CANON PG-260 Ink Cartridges When you open your CANON PG-260 ink box, please first remove the accompanying manual and follow the instructions in the manual to prepare your printer for the new ink cartridges.
- Check if the printer is turned on. Confirm that your Canon printer is powered on. This permits the print head carriage to access the proper location to permit the cartridges to be replaced.
- Open the Ink Cartridge Access Cover : Find and open the ink cartridge access cover on your printer. Depending on your particular Canon printer, this key may be located on the keypad, or it could be a physical button on the front or top of the printer. If you’re uncertain, refer to your printer’s manual.
- Wait Until the Print Head Carriage Stops Moving: When the cover is open, the print head carriage will move to the center(or the replace position). Make sure the printhead carriage moves to the far right and remains there until it stops. Do not attempt to shift it by hand.
Step 2: Remove the new CANON PG-260 ink cartridge from its packaging.
Take the New Cartridge Out of the Box: Now, take out the new CANON PG-260 from its packet.
Peel off the Protective Tape: Check the new cartridge you bought; it must have the protective tape or seal on it that covers the ink nozzle and electrical contacts. Peel this tape away slowly and completely. Do not touch the gold-colored contacts and ink nozzles. Doing so can constrict the nozzles and the cartridge.
Step 3: Attaching the CANON PG-260 Ink Cartridge
So, with your printer ready and your new cartridge unpacked, you can install the CANON PG-260 ink cartridge.
Find the Hole to Insert the Cartridge: Find the slot for the black CANON PG-260 ink cartridge. This is typically indicated with a “BK” or a symbol of a black ink drop. If in need, you can look up the printer manual.
Install the Cartridge: Take the CANON PG-260 ink cartridge and tilt it slightly upward, then slide it into its respective slot. Carefully position the cartridge into the slot and press it down into place until it clicks in.
Step four: Close the ink cartridge access cover thingy.
- Close the cover softly: Then, gently close the ink cartridge access door until it latches into place; parties.
5: Printer Initialization
After replacement of the new CANON PG-260 ink cartridge, please click out to see your Canon printer automatically start the initialization of the operation.
Permit initialization: Let the printer finish the process (no message or any other timing). This may cause the printer to make some sounds or the LED screen to show some messages. This action readies the new ink cartridge for printing.
Step 6: Test Your Printing
