2 Put on the Paper Support

3 Install the Ink Cartridges

1. Plug the printer’s power cord into a grounded outlet.

Don’t use an outlet that can be turned off by a wall switch or timer, or one on the same circuit as a large appliance.

2. Unwrap the ink cartridges. Then remove only the

yellow part of the tape seal on top, as shown. Don’t

pull off the blue portion or remove the clear seal on the bottom of the cartridge.

Use the ink cartridges packed with your printer the first time you install them or your printer won’t charge ink properly. You must remove the yellow tape seal from the cartridge.

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

4. Press the power button to turn on the printer. The power light flashes and the black and color ink out lights come on. The black ink cartridge holder moves slightly left to the loading 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.

If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water.

7. Press the cleaning button to move the color ink cartridge holder into loading 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’s finished. Don’t turn off the printer or interrupt the charging process or it will start over, using more ink than necessary. Charging is finished when the

power light stops flashing and stays on.

Never turn off the printer while the power light is flashing, unless the printer hasn’t moved or made any noise for more than 5 minutes.
