How to use

Ensure the printer is powered on and open the cartridge access cover to allow the print head to move to the replacement position. Remove the empty cartridge according to the printer manufacturer’s instructions, then unpackage the Asarto cartridge and remove any protective tapes or seals before installation. Insert the cartridge into the correct slot until it clicks into place, close the access cover and follow any on-screen or manual prompts to initialise the cartridge or run a nozzle check. Perform a test print or alignment routine if prompted to confirm correct installation and print quality.

Usage recommendations

Store cartridges upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If cartridges are not used immediately after installation, run a head cleaning cycle and print a test page to ensure consistent black output. For long-term archive documents, consider using original manufacturer consumables if archival permanence is required.
