guide to the paper size you are using.

color. Press each cartridge down until it clicks.

approximately 7 minutes. When you see a completion
message on the printer’s LCD screen, charging is
complete.

3 Insert the paper with the glossy or printable side

facedown.

Note: Make sure the paper is loaded against the front edge

guide and not sticking out from the end of the cassette.

4 Slide the side edge guides against the paper, but not too

tight. Make sure the paper is under the tabs on the side
edge guides.

Caution: Don’t turn off the printer or raise the scanner unit while

the printer is charging or you’ll waste ink.

Note: The cartridges included with the printer are designed

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