How to use

Remove the empty cartridge from the printer according to the printer user guide, handling the cartridge by its sides to avoid touching the electrical contacts or print head. Unpack the new Canon PG-40 Black cartridge and remove any protective tape or covers before insertion. Insert the cartridge into the indicated slot until it clicks into place, then close any access panels and allow the printer to perform any automatic alignment or priming routines. For best results, run a nozzle check and alignment after installation.

Usage recommendations

Store unused cartridges in a cool, dry place and keep them in original packaging until ready for use. Use genuine Canon ink cartridges or manufacturer-recommended supplies to maintain printhead performance and ensure consistent print quality. If printing is infrequent, run a cleaning cycle or print a test page periodically to prevent nozzle clogging.
