The ink cartridges packed with your printer are for initial setup. In order to
maintain high quality printouts, your printer will use large quantities of ink
during the setup process. As a result, the ink cartridges used for setup will
empty faster than normal.

Follow the instructions in sections through in this manual to install
the printer software. Then, proceed to section to install the ink
cartridges. To ensure that your printer is operating correctly, proceed to
section after an on-screen message informs you that setup is complete.

Unpacking the printer

Remove all tape and protective materials attached to the printer.

*The number of tape strips used may vary from what is shown.

Attaching the Paper Support and the Output Tray

Insert the paper support into the slots at the rear of the printer, then
insert the output tray into the slots at the front of the printer where the
paper is ejected. Place the printer on a flat, stable surface. Leave enough
space in front of the printer for the paper to be fully ejected.

Connecting the Printer

Your printer connects to your computer via a standard, shielded USB
cable. Make sure that the USB cable supports bidirectional
communication. Otherwise, the printer will not work. Depending upon
your geographic location, you may need to obtain the appropriate cable.
See “Options and Consumable Products” in the Daily Use guide for
details.

Follow these steps to connect the printer to your PC.

Note:

❏ In order to connect your PC via the USB interface, your computer must be

equipped with a USB port and must be a Windows Me, 98 or 2000 pre­installed model that comes with a USB port.

❏ If you use a USB hub, we recommend that you connect the printer to the

first tier of the hub, or connect directly to the computer’s USB port.

1. Make sure that the computer is turned off, and the printer’s power
cord is unplugged.
