How to use

Turn the printer on and follow the printer’s on-screen prompts for cartridge replacement. Remove the empty cartridge according to the user manual, unseal the new cartridge if applicable, and insert it into the designated slot for the black PFI-102 series. Confirm installation through the printer control panel and run any recommended nozzle check or cleaning cycle to ensure proper ink flow and nozzle performance before starting production prints.

Recommendations

Store unopened cartridges in a cool, dark place and use within the manufacturer’s recommended timeframe. For best results, perform regular nozzle checks and maintenance cycles, and use genuine Canon inks to maintain colour consistency and reduce the risk of printhead issues. When replacing cartridges during a production run, allow the printer to complete any initialisation routines to stabilise output before critical prints.
