1. Open the printer top cover. 2. Hold the new cart with both hands. (What do they think we are, stupid?) and gently rock from side to side (the cart, not you). This distributes toner inside the cart and helps (note the caveat) assure quality printing. | |
3. Gently push the cartridge into the printer until it fits firmly. (So that's firm but gentle? Oh I see...) | |
4. Grasp the tab protruding from the left side of the cartridge and flex it to break it loose. Are they for real?! Actually, the cart you get may not have a plastic tab; do not be alarmed. | |
5. Pull the tab straight out. Pull the attached 22 inches (55cm) of tape They're so precise, these QMS types.... of tape completely out of the cartridge. Discard the tab and tape. Gosh, what a palaver! | |
and finally 6. Close the printer top cover. The toner cartridge is now ready for use. |
