Installing an Ink Cartridge for the First Time

1.Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.

2.Make sure the power is off (the P power light is off).

Caution:

Don’t use an outlet controlled by a wall switch or timer, or one that uses the same circuit as a large appliance. This may disrupt the power, which can erase memory or even damage the power supply.
