Printhead initialization (first-time power-up only)

During the Þrst power-up after printhead installation, the printer purges the
ink jets. This Þrst-time printhead initialization takes a few minutes and is
executed only on the Þrst power-up after printhead installation.
Note Do not turn off the printer during initialization. Turning off the
printer during initialization prevents it from printing properly
when it is turned on again.

Printer power-up sequence

Every time you turn on the printer, it executes a series of self-tests to
determine if there are any problems. The front panel indicators turn on and
off during the self-tests. After running self-tests, the printer prints a startup
page, if the startup page is enabled. (The factory default is to have the
startup page enabled.) After running self-tests and printing the startup
page, the printer is ready for operation.
