  - Type of paper…you can trick a misbehaving machine with choosing thinner or thicker paper.
Cartridges
- Install while machine is on and press ACCESS CARTRIDGES button
  - As you snap each into place it will show on the display on the LED window.
  - After installation the machine will run a cartridge alignment
  - If it doesn’t recognize cartridge, try licking the front of the cartridge on the contact strip. Sounds dumb, but it often works!
- Resuscitating Misbehaving Cartridges
  - Soak in hot water for 15 minutes then do the “Whip Snap” Shake into a sink now turn the cartridge upside down and look for two lines of ink
  - Wipe it – Hot Water – Soak
  - Paper Plate and Folded Wet Paper Towels – Press down & release slowly – look for two solid parallel lines. If there’s a break in the lines, there is a blockage on the jets.
