So far what you did is correct. The orange tab with plastic strip attached was the sealing tape used to keep the toner inside the cartridge until ready to use. You're supposed to pull that completely off when you're ready to use it.





Open the front door of your printer all the way down, pull out the color of cartridge you're going to replace and insert the new one in the same direction that the old one was. Close the door and let the printer run through its calibration process and you should be ready to go.

When you opened the box was there not a sheet of paper in with the cartridge with intructions in pictures ?





If so simply FOLLOW it's guide, but it soulds like you were doing it OK.





The plastic cover protects the developer roller in transit


The tape you pull out forms an internal seal to stop the toner leaking in shipping.





Remove both and insert.
You need to pull the plastic strip all the way off of the cartridge and dispose. You SHOULD see color (or black) toner, as the actual toner seal is pulled out...so keep on pulling then remove and toss.





Hope this helps!
