Installing An Ink Cartridge For The First Time; Testing The Printer - Epson Stylus Color 660 Product Information

Installing an Ink Cartridge for the First
Time
You must install both ink cartridges and leave them installed
or the printer won't work.
1. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.
Don't use an outlet controlled by a wall switch or timer,
or one on the same circuit as a large appliance. This may
disrupt the power, which can erase the printer's memory
or damage its power supply.
2. Lower the output tray and open the printer cover.
3. Press the P power button to turn on the printer. The
P power light flashes, the B black and A color ink out
lights come on, and the ink cartridge holders move left to
the installation position.
P
Always use the power button to turn the printer on or
off. Never use an external switch, such as a power strip
switch.
4. Pull up the two ink cartridge clamps.
5. Unwrap the ink cartridges. Then pull off only the yellow
part of the tape seal on the top of each cartridge.
You must remove the yellow tape seal from the top of
the cartridge or you will permanently damage it. Don't
pull off the blue part or remove the tape seal from the
bottom.

Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.
If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with
soap and water. If ink gets in your eyes, flush them
immediately with water.
6. Insert the ink cartridges into their holders with the blue
labels facing up and toward the back of the printer.
7. Push down the clamps until they lock in place.
8. Press the R cleaning button and close the printer cover.
The printer moves the print head and begins charging the ink
delivery system. Charging can take two to three minutes.
During this time, the P power light flashes, and the printer
makes various sounds. Don't turn off the printer or interrupt
the charging process or you'll use more ink than necessary.
Charging is complete when the P power light stops flashing
and it stays on.
Never turn off the printer when the
flashing, unless the printer hasn't moved or made any
noise for more than five minutes.

Testing the Printer

You can run a printer check to determine whether a problem
comes from the printer itself or some other source.
Follow these steps to check the printer:
1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off.
2. Disconnect the interface cable from the printer.
