The scenario is caused by either incompatibility of cartridge or dirty electronic panel of cartridge or the contact area of the electronic panel inside the machine. So you should clean the electronic panel of the cartridge and its contact area inside the printer. To clean use folded tissue soaked in a bit of methylated spirit. If this doesn't do it, it means the cartridge is somehow incompatible and you will have to get another.

Good luck & God bless!

you will need to change the font size in the program in which you are trying to print from. If it is in Word or something similar go to the top and you will see font size, change it to the desired size. If it is from a web page that you are trying to print from you will need to go into your internet page and you will see the choices at the top that say page, safety, tools... etc. Click on Page and go down to text size and change the size of your text here. You can always change it back by reversing the steps above.

Follow these steps :
1.Start with printer off
2.Press and hold resume Button (triangle in the circle) and click "Power" button. Green led should be on
3.While holding the Power button, release the Resume Button.
4.Without releasing the Power Button, click "Resume" button for two times and release Both Buttons.
5.Click "Resume" for four times then soon click "Power" button, to confirm the selected action (reset counter absorber).
6.Turn off the printer and turn on again

Well every advice is the same except a little altered (use a warm cotton swab to clean inside machine and on print head channels) but then it says if possible replace print head but honestly this has become a primitive Machine for turning humans into corpses - buy a new one.
