Preparing the Printer

Be sure to read your setup sheet first for setting up your printer and getting it ready for use.

The diagrams and computer screens in your setup sheet refer to the iP2500 series. The operations are exactly the same with the iP1800 series, unless otherwise described.

Unpack the printer

Please confirm the included items against the illustration printed on the lid of the packing box.

Important

z In Windows, do not connect the USB cable until after the software is installed. z A USB cable is necessary to connect the printer with your computer.

1 Turn on the printer.

Caution

Be sure to remove the tapes and protective material before you turn on the printer.

Note

The tape or the protective material position is subject to change.

2 Prepare the FINE Cartridges.

Caution

Do not touch internal parts other than the FINE Cartridge Holder.

Note

zDo not touch the electrical contacts or Print Head Nozzles on a FINE Cartridge. The printer may not print out properly if you touch it.

zDo not reattach the protective tape once it has been removed it.

zHandle the removed protective tape carefully to avoid getting your hands dirty or staining surrounding work area.

3 Install the FINE Cartridges.

Be sure to use the printer with both Black and Color FINE Cartridges.

Otherwise, the printer cannot print. When either of ink runs out while printing, you can select to use either Color or Black ink as a printer driver setting. However you must use the printer with both Black and Color FINE Cartridges installed regardless of the printer driver setting.

Important

zMake sure that all the FINE Cartridges are installed in the correct position. The printer cannot be used unless all the FINE Cartridges are installed.

zOnce you have installed the FINE Cartridges, the POWER lamp will flash green. Wait for about one to two minutes, until the POWER lamp stops flashing and remains lit green and the printer has stopped making operating noises, before proceeding.

Note

zDo not drop or shake FINE Cartridges as this may cause the ink to leak out and stain your clothes and hands.

zThe ALARM lamp on the printer still flashes orange if a FINE Cartridge is not installed properly. Open the Front Cover and make sure that the position of all the FINE Cartridges is appropriate.
