Installing Ink Cartridges for the First
Time
1. Make sure the printer is turned off (the P power button
level is raised above the control panel level). Then plug the
printer's power cord into a grounded outlet.
Don't use an outlet that can be turned off by a wall
switch or timer, or one on the same circuit as a large
appliance to avoid damaging the printer's power supply.
2. Lower the printer's output tray and open the cover.
3. 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 into loading
position.
Always use the
off. Never use an external switch, such as a power strip
switch.
4. Lift up the two ink cartridge clamps.
5. Remove the ink cartridges from their packages. Then
remove only the yellow part of the tape seal on top. Don't
pull off the blue portion or remove the clear seal on the
bottom of the cartridge
