Caution:
Make sure that the ink cartridge tabs are
not under the tabs protruding from the
base of the opened ink cartridge clamps,
as this can damage the clamps.
Note:
Install both ink cartridges. If either of the cartridges is not installed,
the printer will not work.
6. Lower the ink cartridge clamps until they lock into place.
7. Press the e ink cartridge replacement button. The printer
moves the print head and begins charging the ink delivery
system. This process takes about two and a half minutes.
c
Caution:
Always press the e ink cartridge
replacement button to move the print
head. Do not move the print head by
hand. Doing so may damage the
printer.
While the ink is charging, the
P power
light flashes and the printer produces a variety of mechanical
sounds. These sounds are normal. When the ink delivery
system has been charged, the print head returns to the home
(far right) position and the P power light comes on.
c
Caution:
Never turn off the printer while the P power light is flashing.
8. Close the printer cover.
