DEACTIVATE INK LEVEL DETECTION FUNCTION

IMPORTANT TIP: When using a recycled or remanufactured inkjet cartridge, you must deactivate the ink level

feature to allow your printer to run properly each time a recycled cartridge is installed. Check the following

tips to fix the ‘low ink’ error message when the cartridge is initially replaced. The ink level data is stored in the

chip memory; ink level will display correctly each time a new cartridge is installed after this deactivation process

is performed. Below are methods to deactivate the ink level detection function for models indicated.
