For an inkjet, make sure that the printer is on (plug in and turn on for a new printer). Then open the top cover and wait for the cartridge carrier to come to a stop at the left side of the printer. Then remove the old cartridge (if needed) by pushing the cartridge down to a slight angle then pull it out of the carrier. Open the new ink packaging (one cartridge at a time) and remove the tape (do not touch the electrical contacts or the nozzles). Insert the cartridge into the carrier (black on the left) at a slight angle (towards you). Then push the cartridge up into the printer cartridge carrier. Repeat this for the other cartridge then close the top cover. (The light will blink orange if the cartridges are not correctly seated or both cartridges are not installed.) Wait for the green light to stop blinking before sending a print job to the printer. (The printer needs time to charge the system with the new ink.)

For pictures, see the set up guide: http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/6/0300000636/01/iP2600_ESI_EN-US_V1.pdf or the Canon support site: http://usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_ip_series/pixma_ip2600#ServiceAndSupport . Search for "replace ink cartridge".

If the ink cartridge carrier does not move to the left, check for any foreign objects blocking the path of the carrier. Some inkjets have a plastic guide (usually clear or translucent) that needs to be connected to the cartridge carrier. Shift it down and into position. Other inkjets can have smudges on the guide that can block motion of the carrier. (Clean with a soft lint-free cloth without removing grease from other components.)

I hope this helps.

I want to install ink cartidges and do not know where to begin. I have misplaced my instructions

To install your Brother machine#s ink cartridges, follow the steps
listed below:

1. Make sure that the Brother machine#s power is turned on.

2. Open the ink cartridge cover. This cover is located on right-hand
side of the Brother machine#s front panel.


3. Pull down the four lock release levers. There is one lock release
lever for each ink cartridge.

4. Take the ink cartridge out of its protective bag.

5. Carefully remove the yellow protective cap from the ink cartridge.

- DO NOT touch the side of the ink cartridge covered by the yellow
protective cap.

- Take care when removing this cover to prevent spilling ink and
staining your hands and clothing.

- If the cartridge cover comes off when you open the bag, the cartridge
will NOT be damaged.

6. Install each ink cartridge in the direction of the arrow on the
label.

- Please note that each color has its own specific position. These
positions are indicated by the colors of the four lock release levers.
Do not install an ink cartridge in the incorrect position, as this can
cause print quality problems.

7. Lift each lock release lever and push it until it clicks into the
closed position.

8. Close the ink cartridge cover.

- If the LCD shows #Install Black,# #Install Cyan,# #Install Magenta,#
or #Install Yellow# after you install the ink cartridges, please verify
that you have installed the cartridges correctly.

NOTE:

* DO NOT remove the ink cartridges from the Brother machine unless you intend to replace them. If you do, it may reduce the quantity of ink left in the cartridge, which may cause the Brother machine to miscalculate the amount of remaining ink.

* DO NOT shake the ink cartridges. If ink stains your skin or clothing, wash the affected area with soap or detergent immediately.

* DO NOT repeatedly insert and remove the ink cartridges. Doing so may cause ink to seep out of your cartridges.

* If you mix the colors by installing an ink cartridge in the wrong
position, clean the print head several times after correcting the
cartridge installation.

* Once you open an ink cartridge, install it in the Brother machine and use it up within six months of installation.

* Use unopened ink cartridges by the expiration date listed on the
cartridge package.

* DO NOT dismantle or tamper with the ink cartridge. Doing so can cause ink to leak out of the cartridge
