How to use

Before installation, verify that your printer supports the LC-985Y/AB-985YN cartridge format. Power off the printer if recommended by the printer manufacturer, open the cartridge access panel, and remove the empty yellow cartridge according to the printer’s instructions. Unpack the ActiveJet yellow cartridge, remove any protective tape or seals, and insert it into the yellow slot until it clicks into place. Close the access panel, power on the printer if it was switched off, and run a print-head alignment or test page if the printer suggests it to ensure correct colour registration.

Usage recommendations

Store cartridges in a cool, dry place and use them within the manufacturer’s suggested period after opening to reduce drying or clogging. If prints show streaks or incorrect yellow balance, run the printer’s cleaning cycle and, if necessary, print several test pages. For archival or high-durability photo prints, consider professional photo paper and verify ink compatibility with the paper type.
