steve warrington : hi good, but my printer’s blowing my mind. 🙂
Abagail : Please do not worry; I will take every action possible to fix your issue as quickly as possible with my efforts.
steve warrington : sweet! so why does this tab come up in front of the ink cartridges?
Abagail : I believe there is an issue with the installation of print cartridges.
Abagail :
Please remove both cartridges and reinstall them.

steve warrington :
hmmm. I took them out and looked and everything looked okay.

steve warrington :
okay, I’ll try again.
Abagail : Thank you.
Abagail : Remove both cartridges.
Abagail :
Then check if carriage moving?

steve warrington :

Abagail : Sure

they are removed. how do I check the carriage moves?

Abagail :
Try to move it manually.
Abagail : Move it to left side if it is in right.
steve warrington :
it’s behind the cartridges. I can’t reach it.
Abagail : Try to move it with the pen or pencil

Now reinsert the cartridges.

Press and hold down the power button of the printer for ten second to static discharge the power of the printer, when power cable is disconnected.
