Installing an Ink Cartridge for the First
Time
Follow these ink cartridge precautions:
Install both ink cartridges, and leave them installed for
all types of printing, or the printer won't work.
Remove the yellow tape seal from the top of the ink
cartridges or you'll permanently damage them. Don't
remove the clear seals on the bottom or ink will leak
out.
Don't open an ink cartridge clamp to remove a
cartridge except to replace it with a new one. Once
you remove a cartridge, you can't reuse it, even if it
contains ink.
Never turn off the printer when the
flashing, unless the printer hasn't moved or made any
noise for more than five minutes.
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and don't
drink the ink.
If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap
and water. If ink gets in your eyes, flush them immediately
with water.
1. Lower the output tray and open the printer cover.
2. Press the P power button to turn on the printer. The
P power light flashes and the B black and A color ink out
lights come on. The ink cartridge holders move left into
loading position.
Don't use an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch or
timer, or one on the same circuit as a large appliance, to
avoid damaging the printer's power supply.
Always use the
off. Never use an external switch, such as a power strip
switch.
