Installing the ink cartridge

Installing the ink cartridge

The ink cartridge contains the print head, which sprays the ink onto the paper. Treat it gently so you don’t damage its tiny nozzles.

WARNING The carrier holds the ink cartridge and moves it back and forth when you are printing a document. When the printer is plugged in, don’t slide the carrier by hand or you may damage the printer.

Before you start, make sure the printer is turned on. (The green light glows, and the yellow light flashes.)

1 Open the printer by pulling down its front cover.

2 Wait a few seconds until the carrier moves to the center of the printer.
