3Open the printer’s cover and remove the packing material from the inside of the printer.

Save the carton a nd the packing material in case you ever need to ship

the printer.

4Close the printer’s cover.

5Place the printer in your work area.

Choose a location near your computer that has an electrical outlet and good

ventilation, is out of direct sunlight, never gets damp or very hot or very cold,

and is away from devices that could cause electromagnetic interference, such

as stereo speakers or cordless telephone transmitters. Do not place the printer

on a slanted surface. See Appendix A, “Technical Information,” for specific

information about the physical requirements of your printer.

IMPORTANT

Don’t accidentally discard the ink cartridge storage case. You need

it to store an opened cartridge that you’re not using in the printer. The case

keeps the print head from drying out and prevents accidents with ink stains.

Remove the packing material.
