Cartridge removed and reinstalled
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- remove the FINE cartridge and reinstall it following the printer manual until it is properly seated.
- Result that matters:
- the printer recognises the cartridge.
- If 1430 clears:
- it was badly seated.
- If it stays:
- the cartridge may be damaged; go on to replacing it.
- Evidence to keep:
- photo of the seated cartridge and the screen.

What it means
In the PIXMA TS3300 manual, Canon says 1430 means the FINE cartridge cannot be recognised. Unlike 1682, the first step is to remove and reinstall the cartridge; if the error stays, the cartridge may be damaged and should be replaced with a new one; if that does not solve it, Canon refers you to its service center. The order of steps separates a badly seated cartridge from a damaged one and, finally, from a printer problem.
