Installing Ink Cartridges for the
First Time
Always use the ink cartridges that came in the box the first
time you set up the printer. Follow these steps to install the
ink cartridges:
1. Make sure the printer is turned off (the
should be up). Then plug the printer's power cord into a
grounded outlet.
Caution:
Always use the P power button to turn the printer on or off. Never
use an external switch—such as a power strip switch—to turn off
the printer.
Don't use an outlet that can be turned off by a wall switch or timer,
or one that uses the same circuit as a large appliance. This may
disrupt the power, which can erase memory or even damage the
printer's power supply.
2. Open the ink cartridge packages that came with your
printer. Then remove only the yellow part of the tape seal
on the top of each one. Don't pull off the white portion or
try to remove the clear seal underneath the cartridge.

Install the ink cartridges that came with the printer to ensure the
print heads charge correctly.
You must remove the yellow tape from the top of the cartridge or
you will permanently damage it. It's OK if the tape does not tear off
completely along its dotted line.
Warning:
If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and
water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with
water.
3. Press the P power button to turn on the printer. The
