Fax machine I changed the ink cart, and it keeps telling me to remove the tape, already done, then it says alingment is not set

Either the pull tape is still on the cart or it is dried up inside

Are the cart's third party? if so replace with orginal cart's

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/normanj_7893313f0751935f

No, you need to replace all ink carts with Genuine HP carts to get a sucessful alignment.

Hi Dennis,

You must replace all ink carts to get a sucessful alignment.

With the power turned on, do the following:

1. Open the ink cartridge cover (the carriage should move to the right to access if not already there
2. Pull the lock release levers down
3. Remove the old cartridge
4. Remove protective tape from new cartridge
5. Insert new cartridge
6. Move lock release levers back up
7. Close cartridge door (you may hear the carriage move back to the ready position.

That is the procedure for changing an ink cartridge. Thank you for using Fixya and please remember to return to rate the answer you've just been provided.

The problem is probably an ink build up on the black print head wiper on the service station. The wiper is supposed to clean the head but over time the ink builds up and evaporates and turns to tar. The wiper then fouls the head instead of cleaning it. Remove the left end cover and clean the service station wipers. Manual can be downloaded from here: www.lpscomputer.com/ec/manuals.htm

Open the cover. Press the Ink/maint button (triangle shape on button) this moves the carriage to indicate empty cartridge. keep pressing until carriage moves to the ink replacement position. Open ink cartridge cover and remove the cart. Ensure you remove the yellow tape on new cart' before installing and be careful not to touch the chip on the cart'. Push new cart' in until it clicks. Close lid (ensure clicks down), close printer cover and press ink button again.

Please take a moment to rate this solution, thanks.

If it was working before you changed the cart make sure you removed any sealing tape on the new one. If you have then you likely have a bad cart.

Steve,

did you watch the display after replacing the cart?
Very often the machine asks if you have changed the cart and demands an answer (1 for yes).

You can try to do an update of the firmware, too. Go to www.brother.com , choose your country and then your machine. Download a small update tool and run it.

If it aint getting better:
Do unplug from power outlet (even though you have done already) wait 10 Min. leave scanner cover open and take all carts out. Plugin to power again and leave scanner open. Wait uintil machine gives a warning signal. Reinsert carts and close cover: now watch the display and give always the answer YES(1).

often tho they seem the same the alingment of the nozzles dont match, so check alingment most printers offer you a programme that will do this for you...
