Installing the Ink Cartridges

Caution:
c
Do not shake the ink cartridge; this can cause
leakage.
Do not remove the blue portion of the tape seal
from the top of the cartridges.
Do not remove the tape seals from the bottom of
the cartridges.
2. Lower the output tray, and then open the printer cover.
Caution:
c
Do not move the print head by hand, as this may
damage the printer.
3. Install the ink cartridges as shown in the illustration below.
Caution:

Make sure that the ink cartridge tabs are not under the tabs
protruding from the base of the opened ink cartridge clamps,
as this can damage the clamps.
Note:
The printer will not work unless all cartridges are properly installed.
4. Press the H ink button. The printer moves the print head
and begins charging the ink delivery system. This
process takes about one and half minutes. During the
ink charging process, the P power light flashes and
the printer produces a variety of mechanical sounds.
This is normal.
Caution:
c
Do not turn the power off during the ink charging process.
Do not load paper until ink charging is complete.
Note:
If the ink end error occurs after the print head moves to its home position, the
ink cartridge may not be installed properly. Press the H ink button again, and
reinstall the ink cartridge so that it clicks into place.
In order to produce high quality printouts, the print head in your printer must be
fully charged with ink during the initial setup. This process consumes ink from the
ink cartridges packed with your printer. Replacement cartridges will last for their
full rated life.
5. When the ink charging process is finished, the P power light stops flashing and
remains on.
