Read these instructions before using your product.

Unpack

Note: Remove the ink cartridge package from the back of the printer.

Caution: Do not open the ink cartridge package until you are ready to

install the ink. The cartridge is vacuum packed to maintain reliability.

Remove all protective materials, including from inside the printer.

1 Lift up the printer cover.

2 Shake the ink cartridge gently 4 or 5 times, then unpack

it.

Caution: Don’t touch the green chip or small window on the

cartridge.

3 Remove only the yellow tape from the cartridge.

Turn on

1 Connect the power cord to the back of the printer and to an

electrical outlet.

2 Press the power button.

Caution: Don’t remove any other seals or the cartridge may

leak.

4 Insert the cartridge in the holder, and press it down until

it clicks.

5 Lower the printer cover.

6 Press the button to prime the ink delivery system. This

takes about 5 minutes. When the green power light stops ﬂashing, priming is complete.

Note: The cartridge included with the printer is designed for

printer set up and not for resale. After some ink is used for priming, the rest is available for printing.

Caution: Don’t turn off the printer or load paper while the

printer is priming or you’ll waste ink.

screen savers and virus protection software, before beginning this software installation.

Cancel and disconnect the USB cable. You can’t install your software that way.
