Loading paper
Follow the steps below to load plain paper in the printer.
1. Lower the output tray and slide the left edge guide so that the distance
between the edge guides is slightly wider than the width of your paper.
2. Fan a stack of paper, then tap it on a flat surface to even the edges.
3. Load the stack of paper in the sheet
feeder with the printable side up
and the right edge of the paper
resting against the right edge guide.
Then, slide the left edge guide
against the left edge of the paper.
Note:
Always load paper into the sheet
feeder short edge first.
Make sure that the paper stack fits under the arrow mark inside the edge
guide.
Checking the print head nozzles
Make sure that the printer is turned
off. Hold down the
button ( in the illustration) and
press the 2 power button ( in the
illustration) to turn on the printer.
Then release only the power button
first. When the printer starts the
nozzle check, release the
>
maintenance button.
Below are sample printouts.
Good sample
If the nozzle check page does not print satisfactorily (for example, if any
segment of the printed lines is missing), then you should clean the print
head as explained below. If the printout is satisfactory, you are ready to
print your first page. See "Printing Your First Page" for instructions.
