4 Install the Ink Cartridges

You must install both ink cartridges and leave them installed or the printer won’t work.

1.Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.

Don’t use an outlet that can be turned off by a wall switch or timer, or one on the same circuit as a large appliance. This may disrupt the power, which can erase the printer’s memory or damage its power supply.

2.Lower the printer’s output tray, then open the cover.

3.Press the power button to turn on the printer. The power light flashes, the black and color ink out lights come on, and the ink cartridge holders move left to the installation position.

Always use the power button to turn the printer on or off; never use an external switch, such as a power strip switch.

4.Lift the two ink cartridge clamps.

Don’t open an ink cartridge clamp or remove a cartridge except to replace it with a new one. Once you remove a cartridge, you can’t reuse it, even if it contains ink.

5.Remove the ink cartridges from their foil packages. Then pull off only the yellow part of the tape seal on the top of each cartridge.

You must remove the yellow tape seal from the top of the cartridge or you will permanently damage it. Don’t pull off the blue part or remove the clear seal from the bottom of the cartridge; ink will leak.
