13.Close the printer cover and press the H ink button. The printer begins charging ink.

The green P power light flashes and the printer makes noise. Charging takes about two minutes. When it’s finished, the green P power light stops flashing and stays on, and the red H ink light goes out.

Caution:

Never turn off the printer while the green P power light is flashing, or you’ll waste ink.

Note:

If the red H ink light stays on, an ink cartridge may not be installed correctly. Open the printer cover and press the H ink button two or more times. Then open the cartridge cover and press down all the cartridges until they click into place. Close the cartridge and printer covers, and press the H ink button to charge the ink.

Aligning the Print Head

If your printouts look grainy or blurry, or you see light or dark lines, you may need to align the print head.

Note:

You may also see lines in your printouts if your cartridges are low on ink or you need to clean the print head.

Before you align the print head, make sure the CD/DVD tray is not inserted in the printer.

1.Turn on the printer.

2.Load several sheets of plain, letter-size paper.
