the front of the printer, insert the adapter as far as it will go into the
slot at the rear of the printer.

holder adapter.

It is not possible to change the printer’s voltage. If the rated voltage
and your outlet voltage do not match, contact your dealer for
assistance. Do not plug in the power cord.

Installing Ink Cartridges

This printer uses ink cartridges equipped with IC chips. The IC chip
accurately monitors the amount of ink used by each cartridge, so even
if a cartridge is removed and then inserted again, all of its ink can be
used. However, some ink from both color and black ink cartridges is
consumed each time a cartridge is inserted because the printer
automatically checks reliability.

Be sure to use the ink cartridges packed with your printer the first time
that you install ink cartridges.

Installing the Ink Cartridges

Before installing the ink cartridges, note the following:

Warning:

w

The ink cartridges are self-contained units. Under ordinary use, ink will
not leak from a cartridge. If ink does get on your hands, however, wash
them thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush
them immediately with water.

Note:

Do not open the ink cartridge packages until just before you install them, or the
ink may dry up.

Follow the steps below to install the ink cartridges.

1. Open the output tray and the printer cover, then
turn on the printer by pressing the
button.

2. Lift up the ink cartridge clamps, as shown here.

Caution:

c

3. Remove only the yellow tape
from the ink cartridges.

c

Do not move the print head by hand. Doing
so may damage the printer.

Caution:

❏ You must remove the

yellow tape seals from
the cartridges before installing them, or the cartridges will
become unusable and you will be unable to print.

❏ If you have installed an ink cartridge without removing the

yellow tape seal, you must remove that cartridge and install a
new one. Prepare the new cartridge by removing the yellow tape
seal before installing it in the printer.

❏ Do not remove the blue portion of the tape seal from the

cartridges, or the cartridges may become unusable.

❏ Do not remove the tape seals from the bottom of the cartridges,

or ink will leak out.

❏ Do not touch the green IC chip on the side

of the cartridge. Doing so may prevent
normal operation and printing.

❏ Do not remove the green IC chip from the

side of the cartridge. If you install an ink
cartridge without a chip, the printer may
be damaged.
