from drying out. The cartridge will not cap and may dry out or clog in the following cases:

§If you unplug the printer while it is printing.

§If you power off the printer via a power strip while it is printing.

§If you move the ink cartridge from the home position.

If, after installing the new ink cartridge, the printer seems to be printing but no ink appears, stop the print operation. Remove and replace the ink cartridge making sure it is secure.

Turning On the Printer

To turn on the printer's power, follow these steps:

1.Make sure the parallel interface cable is connected to your printer and computer.

2.Make sure the power cord is attached to the printer and a wall outlet.

3.Press the POWER button on the operator panel.

§The POWER light flashes and the printer makes several sounds as it warms up and gets ready to print.

§When the printer is ready to print, the POWER, ON LINE, and HQ lights are on.

To turn off the printer, press the POWER button again. After turning off the printer, always wait at least five seconds before turning it back on again.

Never unplug the printer or turn it off a power strip to which the printer is attached when the printer's power is turned on. This may prevent the print head from returning to the home position. Once in the home position, the print head is capped, which prevents damage or drying out. This is critical. If left uncapped, the print head may clog, and you may have to purchase a replacement.
