install the ink. Cartridges are vacuum packed to maintain reliability.

2 Unpack the ink cartridges.

3 Remove only the yellow tape from each cartridge.

an electrical outlet.

Caution: Do not connect to your computer yet.

2 Press the power button.

Caution: Don’t remove any other seals or the cartridges

may leak.

4 Insert the cartridges in the holder for each color. Press

each cartridge down until it clicks.

6 Press the ink button to begin priming the ink. This

takes about 3 minutes. Do not turn off the printer, load paper, or open any covers until the process is complete.

Note: Your printer ships with full cartridges and part of the

ink from the first cartridges is used for priming the printer. Replacement cartridges will print more pages.

Caution: Don’t turn off the printer while it is priming or you’ll

waste ink.
