Opening the front cover

❏Hook your fingers under the tw o small tabs on either side of the front cover and pull upwards to swing the front cover open.

Note:

You can completely remove the front cover from the printer. However, we recommend that you normally leave it in place. The cover protects against objects getting into the printer, and it cuts down on printer noise.

Removing the print head protector (color printer only)

If your printer is a color model, its print head will be enclosed in a protector that guards against damage during shipping. Before using the printer, you must remove the print head protector as shown in the following illustration.
