Preparing The Printer - Canon PIXMA Pro9500 Quick Start Manual

Preparing the Printer

Be sure to read your setup sheet first for setting up your printer and getting it ready for use.
Unpack the printer
Please confirm the included items against the illustration printed on the lid of the packing box.
Important
In Windows, do not connect the USB cable until after the software is installed.
A USB cable is necessary to connect the printer with your computer.
1
Turn on the printer.
Caution
Be sure to remove the tapes before you turn on the printer.
Note
The tape position is subject to change.
2
Install the Print Head.
Caution
Do not touch internal parts other than the Print Head Lock Lever.
Important
If the Top Cover is open for more than ten minutes, the Print Head Holder moves to the right side.
In this case, close the Top Cover, and open it again.
Notes
There might be some transparent or light color ink on the inside of the bag the print head comes
in, or the inside of the protective cap - this has no effect on print quality. Be careful not to get ink
on yourself when handling these items.
Do not reattach the protective cap once it has been removed.
3
Install the ink tanks.
Important
Ensure that all the ink tanks are installed in the correct position, matching the label. The printer
cannot be used unless all the ink tanks are installed.
When the POWER lamp flashes blue and the printer vibrates, the printer is shaking the ink
tanks. Once you have installed the ink tanks and have closed the Top Cover, wait for about 2
minutes 30 seconds until the POWER lamp stops flashing and remains lit blue and the printer
has stopped making operating noises before proceeding. Do not open the Top Cover while the
printer is operating (the POWER lamp is flashing blue).
Notes
Do not squeeze the side of ink tanks as this may cause the ink to leak out and stain your clothes
and hands.
Do not reattach the protective cap once you have removed it.
The ALARM lamp on the printer flashes orange if an ink tank is not installed properly. Open the
Top Cover and make sure that position of all the ink tanks match the label.
4
Load paper.
In the following process, you will be required to perform the Print Head Alignment, and you
will need two sheets of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper loaded in the Auto Sheet Feeder.
Important
When loading paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder, ensure that the FRONT FEED button is not lit.
When it is lit, set the Front Tray to its normal printing position. For details about the position of
the Front Tray, refer to "Returning the Front Tray to Its Normal Printing Position" in the User's
Guide on-screen manual.
Always load paper in portrait orientation. Loading paper in landscape orientation can cause the
paper to be jammed.
