If there is no indication on the printer as to which cartridges are needed please check your user manual for confirmation. Which of these codes is correct for your printer will depend entirely upon the model of the machine. The label of the cartridge should carry codes matching or at least similar to PG-37, PG-40, PG-50, PG-510, PG-512, PG-540 or PG-540XL for the black and CL-38, CL-41, CL-51, CL-511, CL-513, CL-541 or CL-541XL for the colour.
