❏ The package contents may vary in certain locations.
❏ The ink cartridges packaged with your printer are partly used during initial setup. In order to produce

high quality printouts, the print head in your printer will be fully charged with ink. This one-off process
consumes a quantity of ink and subsequent cartridge sets will last for their full rated life.

Unpacking the Printer

Remove all tape and protective materials from the printer. Store the
protective materials in case you want to ship the printer in the future.

BA

Note:

Remove the protective material as shown in figure A before setting up your
printer. Store the protective materials in case you want to ship the printer in
the future.

Caution:

c

Do not touch or remove the white cable shown in figure B. Doing so can
adversely affect the printer operation.

Attaching the Printer Parts

Insert the paper support into the slots at the rear of the printer.

To attach the roll paper holder, follow the instructions below.

1. With the arrows on the roll paper holder adapter pointing towards
the front of the printer, insert the adapter as far as it will go into the
slot at the rear of the printer.

2. Insert the roll paper holder into the slots at the back of the roll paper
holder adapter.

Note:

You can temporarily mount the roll paper holder on the printer by inserting it
into slots at the rear of the paper support adapter. You do not need to load roll
paper at this time.

Plugging in the Printer

Follow the steps below to plug in your printer.

1. Make sure that the printer is turned off. It is off when the P power
button protrudes slightly from the surface of the control panel.

2. Check the label on the back of the printer to make sure the voltage
required by the printer matches that of the electrical outlet you will
be plugging it into. Also, make sure that you have the correct power
cable for your power source.

Caution:

c

3. If the power cord is not attached to the printer, connect it to the AC
inlet at the back of the printer.

4. Plug the power cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet.

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

Note:

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

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.

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 P power
button.

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