Make sure the Rivet is all the way in, so the head is touching the cartridge. Use a paper towel and wipe any excess ink off the bottom of the cartridge.
- Page 5 Figure 1 The nozzle check is very important. If your printer can not produce a PERFECT nozzle check, then there is something wrong with it and you should not proceed with the installation of the CFS.

This is the yellow tube. Make sure the tubing is secure and all the way into the bracket. Use some alcohol to lubricate the tubing and the bracket.

If the nozzle check is good, skip the third cleaning cycle. If necessary, run a third cleaning cycle, then another Nozzle check.
