2. Don't open the package until you are ready to use the cartridge.
3. Please avoid contact with chip or electronics when opening the bag.

Installation:

1. For Epson and Brother cartridges please remove yellow tab located on the top of the cartridge or remove the black/yellow cap and install as normal. Note that for Epson please remove black "spacer" before installing.
2. For Canon cartridges please remove orange or yellow tab located on top of the cartridge before removing the orange cap on the bottom, then install as normal.
3. For HP 10/11/82/84/85/88 cartridges, please remove yellow tab located on top of the cartridge and install as normal.
4. Perform a nozzle clean once the cartridge has been installed. Repeat this process if necessary.

Troubleshooting:

1. If cartridge is unrecognisable, please take out the cartridge and reinstall it.
