About Your Ink Jet Printer
If you’re new to ink jet printers, you may wonder how they
differ from dot matrix or laser printers. Two noticeable benefits
of this technology are high print quality and quiet printing.
An ink jet printer produces cost-effective, quality print results.
When you use the right paper, you get crisp, laser-sharp
printouts usually associated with laser printers. And the ink
cartridge inside your printer is easier to replace and more
affordable than the toner cartridges used by lasers.
Inside the ink jet print head, tiny spray units, or jets, draw ink
from the cartridge and then propel ink dots onto the page in
the form of characters or graphics. Because the print head does
not strike the page as it prints, it is much quieter than an
impact printer such as a dot-matrix.
A few
1-2
precautions
Even if you are familiar with other types of printers, be sure to
read through the following list of precautions to operate your
ink jet printer safely and efficiently:
Under normal circumstances, ink will not come out of the
cl
cartridge. If it does get on skin, wash it off with soap and
water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with
water.
Keep the ink cartridges out of the reach of children.
cl
Do not dismantle the ink cartridges or try to refill them.

After removing an empty cartridge, put it in a plastic bag

for disposal.
Setting Up Your PrinfG
0
Once you install the ink cartridge, do not open the clamp or
remove the ink cartridge except to replace it with a new
one. The cartridge may become unusable otherwise.
0
Install the ink cartridge immediately after you remove it
from its package. Leaving the cartridge unpacked for a
long time before use may result in poor print quality.
o
Do not use an ink cartridge beyond its rated life
expectancy. Ink cartridges are good up to the date printed
on the cartridge carton.
0
When moving the ink cartridge from a cold place to a
warm one, let it sit for about one hour until the ink warms
to the new temperature.
0
Do not turn off the printer while printing or before the
print head is capped. (The print head is capped when it is
in the far right position.) The print head caps automatically
if the printer receives no data for several seconds. You can
also cap the print head by pressing the

Choosing the right paper
One of the keys to getting great results with your ink jet printer
is selecting the right paper. Paper absorbency is an especially
important consideration. With paper that is too absorbent, the
ink can bleed slightly, causing characters to blur. However,
with paper that is not absorbent enough, the ink may take too
long to dry and smear easily.
The finish and thickness of the paper are also important. Avoid
paper that has a rough finish or a slick, coated finish. Also,
avoid paper that is too thick or too thin. See the paper
specifications in the Appendix for more information.
Most correspondence-quality paper works in your printer
without problems. However, it is a good practice to test any
paper or envelopes in your printer before buying large
quantities.
To test a supply of paper, take a single sheet from the package
and load it in the printer. Perform the self test and check the
results. You should test both sides of the paper to determine
which gives you the best quality printing. (When you load
paper, remember that the printer prints on the bottom side of
the paper.) If the ink does not bleed or smear, the paper should
be suitable for use with your printer.
Because the drying speed for the ink depends on the pattern
being printed, the type of paper used, and the temperature and
humidity, some smudging or streaking may occur under
certain conditions. If the ink does not dry quickly enough, try
removing sheets one at a time as they finish printing.
Note:
Ink jet printers are particularly sensitive to the condition of your
paper.
Keep
unused paper in its original packaging material and store
it in a cool, dry place.

Setting Up Your Printer
Unpacking the Printer
Your printer box should include these items:
Ink Cartridge
Power Cord
In some locations, the power cord comes attached to the
printer. The shape of the AC plug varies by country; be sure
the plug included is the right shape for your location.
Caution:
Q
Save all of the packaging and the protective materials in case
you ever need to transport the printer.
You must remove all packing and protective materials packed
with your printer before you can set it up and turn on the
power. Follow the directions on the Notice Sheet (inserted in
your printer) to remove these materials.
