How to use

Install the cartridge following the printer manufacturer’s cartridge replacement procedure: power on the printer, open the cartridge access panel, remove the empty cartridge and insert the Xerox XRC alternative until it seats securely. Close the access panel and allow the printer to recognise the new cartridge; run a nozzle check or alignment if prompted by the printer software. Use genuine or compatible printer drivers to ensure correct cartridge detection and print settings for black output.

Usage recommendations

Store the cartridge upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Before installation, gently shake the sealed cartridge side-to-side to ensure ink distribution. If prolonged non-use or storage occurs, run a cleaning cycle and a test print to re-establish proper ink flow and prevent nozzle clogging.
