Will Not Fit
- Different cartridges: PG-240XL / CL-241XL, PG-210XL / CL-211XL and PG-285XL look similar but fit different printers.
- Check printing: for MICR checks, use the PG-245XL Black MICR cartridge instead of standard black.
- Same printers, less ink: standard-yield Canon PG-245 / CL-246 fit the same slots; the XL versions print more pages.

Chips, Printer Messages & Installation
Installing each cartridge: open the cover and wait for the cartridge holder to stop. Push down on the old cartridge and lift it out. Unwrap the new cartridge and peel the protective tape off the print nozzles, without touching the nozzles or the copper contacts. Insert it into the matching holder (color or black, marked on the holder) and push until it clicks, close the cover, and print an alignment page if the printer asks.
Ink level messages: a refilled cartridge may show a remaining-ink warning or a notice that the ink level can't be detected. Confirm the prompt to keep printing. If a cartridge isn't recognized, wipe the contacts with a dry lint-free cloth and reseat it; see our guide to fixing a cartridge that isn't recognized.
