Turn off the printer, carefully remove the cartridge, and clean both the cartridge contacts and the corresponding contacts inside the printer. Use a lint-free cloth lightly dampened with water to wipe the contacts gently. Ensure everything is dry before reinstalling the cartridge.
Restart Printer: A simple restart can sometimes resolve temporary issues. Please turn off the printer, unplug it from the power source, wait for a minute, then plug it back in. Turn the printer on and check if the error persists.
