Install the Ink Cartridges

Follow these ink cartridge precautions and the others in your Printer Basics book:

•Use the cartridges packed with your printer the first time you install ink cartridges or your printer won’t charge properly.

•Install both ink cartridges, and leave them installed for all types of printing, or the printer won’t work.

•Remove the yellow tape seal from the ink cartridges or you’ll permanently damage them. Don’t remove the clear seals from the bottom or ink will leak out.

•Don’t touch the green chips on the cartridges. This prevents normal operation and printing.

•Never turn off the printer when the power light is flashing, unless the printer hasn’t moved or made any noise for more than 5 minutes.
