Where is the cartridge located in the printer?

If you use a printer, it is important to know the location of the cartridge. After all, when the paint runs out, we need to pull out the part. It is this that contains the ink, and it is this that must be taken to the service center. The second reason is that the printer began to work poorly, and it is necessary to inspect the parts for damage.

Where is the cartridge located in the printer?

Most often it is located under the cover of the device. It is a long black piece. It has a matching handle. In most cases, the manufacturer's brand is also written (the same as on the printer). But the location and process of removing the cassette may differ slightly depending on the device model. Let's look at the most common cases.

Depending on the printer model

The cartridge may be located in different places, depending on the device model.

Canon device

The structure of the printer is no different from the standard one. Just open the cover and we will see the cartridge. We take it by the handle and pull it towards us. Do not apply force to avoid damaging the device.

Attention! A distinctive feature of Canon printers is that you can only replace the cartridge if the device is turned on. This is necessary so that the cartridge can move into the correct position.

HP

There may be differences here depending on whether the printer is inkjet or laser. For example:

1. If the device is laser, open the cover and fix it using levers. There may be another, additional cover that protects the interior of the printer. Let's open it too. There should be a cassette underneath it. Let's pull it out. This method will work for most laser devices, not just HP devices.
2. If your printer is an inkjet printer, you must first turn it on. We are looking for the access cover (on the front panel). Let's open it. We wait until the print head locks. This is where the cartridge is located. Now we take it by the handle, press it a little, and pull it towards us.

Samsung

The cover is located either on the front or top of the device. Just open it and take out the part. There are no differences.

In a color laser printer

Some devices have toner (possibly several) and drum cartridges. And if we open the lid, we will only see a toner cartridge, while the other is located in the depths of the device. For such devices we do the following:

1. Press the paper key on the panel and hold it for 2 seconds. This will enable the device's cassette replacement mode.
2. We wait until only one indicator starts flashing. It will indicate which toner cartridge can be removed (if there are more than one).
3. We extract each block sequentially.
4. Raise the levers on both sides to remove the lock.
5. Retract the drum cartridge using the handle.

Important! The drum cartridge is located under the toner cartridges. It is pulled out in the same way as the others.

The cartridge is needed to apply ink to the paper, so it will definitely be in contact with the paper, and is located somewhere in the center of the device (above the sheets of paper during the printing process).

So, to find the cassette, we first need to find where the cover is.The part is black and equipped with a special handle, so finding it will not be difficult. Having opened the lid, we will see the part and can remove it by simply pulling it towards us.
