Installing an Ink Cartridge for the First

Time

1. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.

Don’t use an outlet controlled by a wall switch or timer,

or one that uses the same circuit as a large appliance.

This may disrupt the power, which can erase the

printer’s memory or damage its power supply.

2. Remove the ink cartridges from their foil packages. Then

pull off only the yellow part of the tape seal on the top of

each cartridge. It is okay if a bit of the yellow tape remains

on the cartridge. Don’t pull off the blue part.

You must remove the yellow tape seal from the top of

the cartridge or you will permanently damage it. Don’t

remove the clear seal from the bottom.

If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with

soap and water. If ink gets in your eyes, flush them

immediately with water.

3. Lower the output tray and open the printer cover.

4. Press the

power button to turn on the printer. The

power light flashes, the

black and

color ink out

lights come on, and the black ink cartridge holder moves

slightly left to the installation position.

Always use the

power button to turn the printer on or

off. Never use an external switch, such as on a power

strip.

5. Lift up the black ink cartridge clamp.

6. Place the black ink cartridge in its holder with the label

facing up and toward the back of the printer. Then press

down the clamp until it locks into place.

7. Press the

cleaning button to move the color ink cartridge

holder into the installation position.

If the print head doesn’t move to the color ink cartridge

installation position, hold down the cleaning button for

three seconds until the print head moves to the color ink

cartridge installation position.

8. Repeat steps 5 and 6 to install the color ink cartridge.

9. Press the

cleaning button to begin charging the ink

delivery system and then close the printer cover.

Charging takes about two minutes. The

power light flashes,

and the printer makes various sounds until it is finished.

Don’t turn off the printer or interrupt the charging process or

it will start over and you’ll use more ink than necessary.

Charging is complete when the

power light stops flashing

and is stays on.

Never turn off the printer when the

power light is

flashing, unless the printer hasn’t moved or made any

noise for more than five minutes.

Testing the Printer

You can run a printer check to determine whether the

problem comes from the printer itself or some other source.

Follow these steps to run the printer check:

1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off.

2. Disconnect the interface cable from the printer.

3. Make sure paper is loaded in the printer.

Load paper that’s at least 8.27 inches (210 mm) wide.

This prevents ink from spraying inside the printer and

smudging your printouts.

4. Hold down the

load/eject button, then press and release

the

power button. Continue holding down the

load/

eject button until the

power light starts to flash, then

release it.
